hello vipers

0:02

let's talk about pipe cloud's latest

0:05

feature allowing you to customize your

0:07

experience in the system and this is

0:08

sortable fields and

0:11

create cards for standard fields and

0:13

custom fields and so this will make it

0:15

easier for you to organize data in a way

0:17

that makes sense for your workflows and

0:20

services what matters most for you at a

0:22

glance

0:23

and so to show you what we're talking

0:25

about here go to the it's add item to

0:28

add a new contact

0:30

and what's going to be customizable here

0:34

is your ability to determine where it is

0:36

that fields display on this create

0:38

contact card

0:40

and which sections they appear in so

0:43

let's say that there are some custom

0:45

fields that you

0:47

frequently use you're always using when

0:49

you're adding a new contact and it would

0:50

be helpful to be able to just have them

0:52

all in a particular order

0:54

up higher under the basic fields

0:57

additionally there are you got the basic

0:59

fields and additional standard fields

1:02

and there's a lot of information here

1:03

that can be also very critical to every

1:05

single time you're creating a contact

1:07

you want to have it

1:09

nice and easily surfaced and in a

1:12

particularly like logical order and now

1:14

you can do just that

1:16

uh plus these

1:18

standard fields are now sortable on the

1:19

contact record as well and that's

1:21

something i'll be showing you in a

1:23

second

1:24

so how to do this

1:26

first you want to go to the get started

1:28

page under setup right here

1:31

which is where i am right now and then

1:32

you can go to customizations

1:35

and all this is found under fields

1:37

by the way all of this applies to

1:40

contacts accounts and opportunities

1:42

though i'm just going to be talking

1:43

about contacts right now because it all

1:46

applies equally across the the different

1:49

uh item types

1:51

so let's go to custom

1:53

we have our two custom fields that we

1:56

want to

1:57

have ordered much higher on the contact

1:59

create

2:00

so what we can do is uh well first of

2:02

all you can see where these are going to

2:04

appear based on this right here create

2:07

card these are both

2:08

custom

2:10

hit the pencil icon to edit

2:13

and then we can tweak this over

2:15

to basic

2:17

and also just to note

2:20

and this is actually not a change in the

2:22

system is that you can always

2:24

set uh this as required and actually

2:26

that's going to by default

2:28

bump that up into the basic section

2:30

because uh by definition when a field is

2:34

required and you are needing to add that

2:35

information every time you create a

2:37

contact it just makes sense for it to be

2:39

easily visible

2:41

but for right now we're going to do this

2:46

and so to quickly check head over here

2:48

go to contact and there we go

2:51

now these two custom fields are sorted

2:53

under basic fields

2:58

now we're going to go take our

3:00

mobile phone field

3:02

and make that add that to the basic

3:05

create card

3:10

and i'm also going to demonstrate how

3:12

these standard fields are now sortable

3:15

so let's move that mobile phone

3:17

up between last name and email

3:21

we can go right here here

3:26

contact and there we go

3:28

the mobile phone is now listed right

3:30

there

3:32

and

3:33

let's add a new contact here

3:50

just gotta create quickly create a dummy

3:52

contact here let's create and go to

3:57

and there we go

3:59

now this mobile phone is listed in a

4:01

different order than it would have been

4:03

by default

4:04

and these custom fields are still where

4:06

they are

4:07

so this doesn't necessarily change the

4:09

custom fields being displayed up in

4:12

the uh the details section up here

4:15

but it makes them nice and easy to add

4:18

in an order that is logical for uh for

4:20

your particular use case

4:22

and also both of these sections are now

4:25

sortable from

4:26

within so

4:29

we'd love to hear any feedback that you

4:30

have about this let me know if you have

4:32

any questions about this

4:35

and happy selling
