You can set up lists of predefined attributes and assign them to your items or cards. This means you can group your items or cards to a greater degree than is possible with identifiers.

For example, you could set up a custom list containing each of your sales territories, and allocate those customers to the appropriate territory. You can then filter reports to only show information about customers who are within a particular sales territory.

Custom lists are made up of:

  • the name of the custom list, such as "Sales Territory", and
  • the entries within a custom list, such as "City centre, North, South", etc.

Custom lists are displayed on the Card Details tab of your cards, or the Item Details tab of your items.
