Fields

A Field is one value stored on one Record for one Property. Think of it as a single cell in the grid. The intersection of one record (the row) and one property (the column).

​

Field shape

The shape of a field’s value depends on its property type. See each property type’s “Value shape” section:

• Text, Email, Phone
• Number, Currency
• Date, Time
• Select, Status
• External, Formula

​

History

Field changes are captured as activity events. Open a record’s timeline to see who changed what and when. These changes can also trigger automations. See Workflow triggers.

​

Permissions

Fields inherit the Record’s permissions by default. A property can also be restricted on its own: a “salary” property on the People object can be locked to HR even when the People records themselves are widely visible. See Restricting one property.
