Any Field
Add, modify, and customize any of the field types. Variety is the spice of life, so drill down to the info you need for your workflow!
Most of our competitors have 15 or fewer fields, so you’ll find SmartSuite a regular playground of data options! Let’s take a look at what we have to offer your team.
We've Got
The Basics Covered
We’ve got you covered with all the commonly used field types - you’ll use these on pretty much everything you do.
Start by adding Basic Fields such as Text, Date, Number, Single and Multiple Select lists, Files and Images, and more.
Each field comes with validation - for example, if you try to enter a date in the wrong format, we’ll call you out (nicely). Maintain quality data for quality decisions.
Fields Designed
For Collaboration
Work is better when we all work together. Encourage team collaboration by adding interactive field types such as Rating, Vote, Tag, and Social Networks fields. Just don’t blame us if you don’t win “Most Likely to Succeed.”
Project Management
Essentials
Keep your project managers happy with project management-specific field types, including Due Date, Status, Percent Complete, and Time Tracking. Manage your entire timetable of deliverables and ensure the team is always in the loop.
Not Your Average
Field Types
We’re moving beyond the basics with our Advanced Fields! We have fields for specific needs such as Formula, Signature, Auto Number, Sub Items, and more. Support ANY process you can think of and get more done using more specific fields.
The Future of
Collaborative Docs
Stop the back and forth between your documents, file management systems, project management software, and everything in between. Our SmartDocs give you everything you need to create rich, in-depth, badass next-gen docs directly in your records. It’s your Google Docs, Microsoft Word, WordPress editor, Evernote and more—all combined into the ultimate SmartDoc! Get in there, Hemingway...but maybe hold off on the bourbon until after hours.
Assign Work
To Team Members
Assign one or multiple members to any task you create in SmartSuite. Every assigned item will appear in their “My Work” section to keep processes and projects moving forward.
Creating Connections
By Linking Solutions
Linked fields are the magic behind your workflows, creating connections between everything in the platform, so data can be shared without duplication. Relate contacts to accounts, features to products, logos to marketing materials, and on and on. Linked fields save you time...so, so, so much time.
Check Off The Details
With Checklists
Like a to-do list on steroids, checklist fields allow you to create collaborative tasks lists to knock out the little details on the path to an excellent broader scope of work.
We’re not saying you have to completely get rid of that paper notebook you’ve been building out to-do lists in, but we do offer color coding as well.
Sub Items: Building Blocks
To Powerful Projects
Build your projects however you would like! We know you’re going to love our field types, so we thought you’d like to build more records in your records. We offer full customization. Just select the fields to display, apply filters and sorts, link related records, and more. Great for prepping and checking off the sub items that have to be accomplished for a larger deliverable.
