How To Organize Staff With Custom Fields

The way you run your business is unique, so when organising data, you want to have both control and freedom.

It could be a fairly standard concept, like adding a priority level to a task, so you can decide when to finish it. Or you can attach specific attributes to invoices and documents, to organise your paperwork more efficiently. Whatever the case may be, with Custom Fields, the possibilities are endless. You can organize your data the way you find meaningful, and later you can easily find it, group and build reports.
