Customizing HubSpot Records
HubSpot provides users with robust tools to customize records within its CRM, enabling businesses to tailor their data management to specific needs. This customization enhances the visibility and accessibility of critical information.
Set up record view
Users can modify the layout of records by adjusting the middle column and sidebars. This includes:
- Middle Column: Accessing the settings allows users to customize what appears in the middle column of a record. This can be done by selecting specific properties and arranging them according to user preferences.
- Sidebars: The left sidebar can be customized for all users or specific teams. Users can add or remove properties, rename sections, and rearrange items to create a more intuitive layout.
