Turn Your Custom Fields Into Real Metrics in Account Dashboards and Custom Reports

Modified on Mon, 24 Aug at 12:23 AM

What's New?
  • Numeric and monetary custom fields on 
    Contacts
     and 
    Opportunities
     can now be used as metrics — not just filters or groupings.
  • Aggregate them with 
    Sum, Min, Max, or Average
    .
  • Available everywhere metrics live: 
    Dashboard widgets, Custom Reports, and the Custom Metric module.
  • Any new custom field you create shows up in the metric picker automatically — no setup required.
How It Works:
  1. Open a dashboard widget, custom report, or the Custom Metric module and go to add a metric.
  2. In the 
    Field
     dropdown, select any numeric or monetary custom field (e.g., "Property Value") — it now appears alongside your standard fields.
  3. In the 
    Aggregation
     dropdown, choose Sum, Min, Max, or Average.
  4. Your widget or report now reflects that custom field's aggregated value, live.
Why It Matters:
  1. Report on what actually matters to your business
     — if you've been tracking deal size, treatment cost, property value, or any other custom number, you can now build real dashboards around it instead of exporting to a spreadsheet.
  2. No more manual math
     — Sum, Min, Max, and Average are calculated for you, live, instead of being tallied by hand.
  3. Zero setup
     — new custom fields are metric-ready the moment you create them.
Note:
  • Applies to 
    numeric and monetary
     custom field types in Contacts and Opportunities.
