Custom Fields and Group Custom Field Features
New
We are excited to annount two new exciting features: Custom Fields and Custom Group Filters based on those Fields
1. Custom Field Checkboxes
Custom Fields allow account admin to create fields that will be associated with CRM Contacts. Then in the edit view of CRM Contacts you can set a value for the Custom Field.
For instance, create a Custom Field called "is_awesome" and then you can set a CRM Contact as being "is_awesome".
2. Custom Group Filters
Custom Field Checkboxes don't do a whole lot on their own, but when we integrate them with our other features they become much more powerful.
When you create a Custom Field Checkbox we automatically create a CRM Group for you that will show all members in your org that have been selected as "is_awesome". Furthermore, you will be able to message all of those members in the Bullhorn SMS Feature in the same way you have been able to message previous CRM Groups!
To continue the example above, when you create the "is_awesome" Checkbox, you will get a CRM Group that includes anyone that you select as "is_awesome" and you will be able to message them in the Chat area as a group.
We limited this feature to Checkboxes initially so that we could get feedback, let us know what you think :)
