What are list-specific fields vs. global fields?
When creating new fields/columns within your Affinity lists, you have two options based on how accessible you want these fields to be to your team members.
- List-specific fields will only appear in the list they were created in. Therefore, only people who have access to that list can view these list-specific fields and their relevant data.
- Global fields will appear amongst all lists of the same type. Therefore, anyone with access to your team Affinity account can view these global fields and their relevant data.
Note: Global fields can not be created/used on opportunity-type lists as each opportunity is unique and can have any unique combinations of people and/or organizations associated with each opportunity.
List-specific fields
- List-specific fields will only appear in the list they were created in, indicated by black text.
- These list-specific fields will appear under the Lists section within a contact's profile page.
Note: All columns created within opportunity lists are currently list-specific fields - regardless of the different colored text for Notes, People, Organizations, etc.
Global fields
- Global fields will appear amongst all lists of the same type, indicated by either green text (automatically enriched default fields) or blue text (unenriched fields requiring manual input).
- These global fields (both automatically enriched default fields and unenriched fields) will appear under the General section within a contact's profile page.
Note: All columns created within opportunity lists are currently list-specific fields - regardless of the different colored text for Notes, People, Organizations, etc.
