Custom Lists

iPoint tracks a LOT of information. But despite our best efforts, there may be something you want to document about your customers that we haven’t included. Want to know if the customer has pets? When does their extended warranty expire? A system administrator can create a Custom List to track pretty much anything you want!

Entering Information

1. Choose the Custom Data List by clicking on it
2. If the list has been previously completed, you’ll see the completed fields on the right. Otherwise, they’ll be empty.
3. Click in the field to enter and start typing the information.
   1. Some fields can be customized to offer predefined options in a dropdown menu.
   2. Other fields may be defined to hold a date. Select the calendar icon on the right side of the field to open a calendar where you can select a date.
4. If a custom data list field is not needed, click on the black X to delete the field altogether. Note: This does not delete the field from the list globally. It only deletes that field for this particular customer.

Buttons

At the top of the Custom Data Lists are two buttons that provide additional options.

• Load Custom Data List – is where you perform adjust lists to match the master lists as defined in settings.
  • Add New Items from master – this button will add any missing fields from the data list. If someone deletes a field by clicking the black X, this button re-adds the empty, missing fields.
  • Delete All And Reload Master – use this button to erase all data fields from the list and replace them with blank fields. This button is a quick way to start with a clean slate.
  • Load All Custom Data Lists – this functions similarly to the Add New Items from Master detailed above, except that it affects every Custom Data List defined in Settings.
  • Cancel & Close – close the New Custom Data Item popover window without changing anything.

Sometimes you’ll find that you need an extra tidbit of information that the system administrator hasn’t defined for the system. No worries! You can add a new data list item by clicking the New Custom Data List Item button!

1. Choose the Custom Data List in the left column
2. Click the New custom Data List Item button to reveal a popover
3. Type in the name of the new data field
4. Click Add Item to List
5. Now, you can enter the information you need to track

Note: This option only affects the custom data list for the individual customer. So, for example, creating new items won’t affect the master list set up by your system administrator. And it won’t affect other contacts in CRM.

*A system administrator can add a new custom data lists or new list items to the master Custom Data List in Settings > Module Settings > CRM.
