Managing Records
Creating, editing, filtering, bulk actions, and soft delete for entity records.
Managing Records
Creating Records
Click on an entity type in the sidebar to open its listing page, then click the New {Entity} button. Fill in the custom fields (required fields are marked with a red asterisk) and optionally add tags. Click Save to create the record.
Validation Rules
When saving a record, field values are validated by type:
- Required fields — must have a value
- Email fields — must be a valid email format
- URL fields — must be a valid URL format
- Number fields — must be numeric
- Date fields — must be a valid date
- Yes/No fields — must be true or false
Record Detail Page
Each record has a detail page showing:
- All custom field values with their labels
- Relationship links (clickable, navigating to the linked contact or record)
- Tags (with colors and icons)
- Created and updated timestamps
Display Name
The record’s display name comes from the primary field. If you marked a "Company Name" field as primary, that value is used as the record’s title everywhere — in the listing page, breadcrumbs, relationship selectors, and automation context. If no primary field is set, the record displays as "Record #123".
Searching & Filtering
The listing page has a search bar that searches across all custom field values. You can also use advanced filters to filter by specific field values, tags, and date ranges. The same filter operators available for contacts (equals, contains, greater than, etc.) work for entity records.
Tags on Records
Entity records support the same tagging system as contacts. You can apply tags from the record detail page. Tag groups restricted to a specific entity type (e.g., "record:5" for entity type ID 5) will only show tags relevant to that entity type.
Bulk Delete
Select multiple records using checkboxes, then click Delete Selected. Each record is checked for delete permission individually.
Soft Delete & Restore
Deleted records are soft deleted (moved to trash). Toggle Show Trashed to see and restore them. Use Force Delete to permanently remove a record and all its custom field values.
