How to add custom columns to your List

Custom Columns let you display more information on a List. You can add custom fields, which can help you stay organized internally while giving more relevant information to your viewers in a table view format.

What custom columns can I add?

  • Text - You can add your custom column field. You can add a note section next to each profile.
  • Status - Use Lists as a lightweight CRM and add status options
  • Name - we autofill the name of the profile.
  • URL - We’ll provide the website for company profiles and a person’s social media.
  • Added - We’ll show when the profile was added to the List.
  • Intro Paths - View intro paths to reach the right person. See Intro Paths to learn more.

Setting up Custom Columns

  1. Go to Lists page and find your List.
  1. Ensure your List is visible in Table View, not Card View. There will be a small icon at the top of your list to indicate that. You’ll also see all profiles justified to the left if you’re in table view.
  1. Click on the (+) symbol on the top right to add a column.
    • We have some example text columns, such as Status, Name, URL (LinkedIn profile for people and website for companies), and When the entry was added.
  1. Some fields will automatically be filled out for you when selected, such as name and URL. Others may require you to fill out more information, such as status or a custom text field.
