Master Types

Some fields allow you to select a Master Type. Master Types are useful for categorizing your field options and to standardize your reporting.

Master Type of 'Inquiry'

All Activity Types that are created with a Master Type of 'Inquiry', and only those types, will show up in the drop-down selection when adding a new lead to your database

Arranging Field Options


  • You can arrange your field options alphabetically by clicking on Sort All.
  • You can also customize the order of field options by clicking the three lines on the left hand side of an option and dragging it to the location you would like.
