What is CRM Setup?

CRM Setup is used to configure custom user profile fields and tabs, expanding the profile information that can be collected and stored for a user. Once configured, these tabs and fields appear on the user record in the tab area near the bottom of the user page.

Any demographic information can be created as a custom field. Examples include:

  • Neighborhood
  • Pet Owner
  • Committee Membership
  • Emergency Contact
  • Lease Renewal Date

Reports can also be created to view and find user records that match criteria from these custom field values.

To configure, see Create or Edit Custom User Fields.

To create user reports, see Create and Run a User Report.
