Allow Customization of Field Layout in Contacts, Jobs, Tasks
Allow users to move the fields around (order of them) when adding, editing, and viewing Jobs and Contacts, and hide built-in fields that are not applicable to a specific workflow.
This should be customizable per Workflow so that different Contact/Job types have different field requirements according to their needs.

This is on our development list and will be coming in a future update. I’ll keep you posted!

Please make this feature. I just want to hide 70% of our contact fields. We enter a lot of contacts...

Is this still on the "planned" list? Note is from 2014...?

I second this motion. I understand allowing the alteration of 'Native' Fields, could affect integrations like naturalForms, whose mapping relies on the Field Identifier Name matching. But perhaps in regards to that issue, leaving the Field Identifier hidden in your database and static, but allowing the Display Name of that field to be altered at the user level.
In regards to higher level customization of the contact data hierarchy in general I've put together an illustration here for reference it some ability I'd like to see. I think there is a lot of white space that could be used more efficiently if you had a way to just make the contact level data header and tabs more open to the user to manipulate.

Sadly Brandon, I really feel it doesn't and is the biggest flaw of Job Nimbus. I don't know if they employ developers anymore or just salesmen and phone support as if you look around on here, there is plenty that goes untouched or unanswered for years.. Frustrating.

2020 and this is still "Planned" Does this forum ever get looked at?

I would LOVE to be able to edit the pre-existing Contact fields. It's great that I can add my own, but I want to change "Main Phone" to "Home Phone" and a few other minor things. That would really make it much easier for us to start migrating the rest of our company from our current CRM to JobNimbus!

<p>Have the ability to drag and drop the customized entries on the Contact (or any other form) form</p>

Looks like this has been in development since Aug 2014. Any updates on this?

It would be ideal to change the MAIN phone to say HOME phone. Also, instead of ADDRESS 1 and ADDRESS 2, it would be better to say JOB ADDRESS and BILLING ADDRESS.

I appreciate the option of adding custom fields with drop-downs. However, once those fields are added -which sometimes are better suited for our company than the default fields, I would like for the unnecessary default fields to be hidden so as not to confuse anyone.

Please allow some customization to the job view and report. All you've done is essentially recreate the contact view which chews up a ton of space I don't want. I am trying every creative way I can to make JobNimbus work but the lack of customization available is mind boggling. Who cares if you have 100 custom fields if there is nowhere sensible to put them? Seriously, to make JobNimbus work, I've had to create this huge Excel Workbook in order that we can do time efficient material and work orders, invoices, etc.. Unfortunately, since you also didn't think about making a connection to Excel, there's no connection with that to JobNimbus. And there's no good way for the Sales Reps to input needed data. It would take us at least an additional 2 hours per job if we tried to use JobNimbus material and work orders. Invoices are a joke. Hello out there, not everybody wants to shift everything over to Quickbooks.

Would love to see this change happen, any updates since 2014?

This is a must have for different workflows like: insurance job, cash job, repairs. Most companies require different data for a residential job vs commercial job. Also, I see that this has been planned for over 3 years now........ How about an update on the status.

Would love to be able to edit the existing default fields / mainly phone numbers - name them his cell/her cell/his work, etc...

Besides what has already been mentioned, please consider the following when implementing this:
(1) Having a place to enter a field description in settings. This description would appear as a window box style hyperlink that popups if field is clicked.
(2) A fields "tab" on each contact/site similar to the activity/tasks/etc tabs you see on each job/contact.
(3) If implementing the fields tab mentioned previously: The fields would have an option in settings where the user could choose which ones of the custom fields they want displayed on the main contact/job display (above the tabs).
(4) Besides fields associated with workflows, I would like to see conditional field options. The conditions to choose from would at the least need to include workflow, sales rep/groups, assigned to, and most importantly the option to be based off of the custom fields. For example, if a customer is tax-exempt, we could have a tax-exempt field that has the condition that when the answer is yes, then two more sub-fields would be displayed: certificate # and expiration.
(5) Fields are how we do majority of our reporting. I would love the option (of more than 10 types of each field) to be able to account for all our departmental needs.
Thanks in advance for considering! -
