How to Add Custom Fields to Dashboard Table Widgets in Sparkforge
Sparkforge dashboards now let you select custom fields as columns in Contacts and Opportunities table widgets, plus a new Birthdate column for Contacts. No admin permission required beyond dashboard edit access.
Custom fields are now selectable as columns inside Contacts and Opportunities table widgets. Add the data points you actually track — deal source, lead score, anniversary date, anything custom — directly to your dashboards and custom reports.
What’s Available
- Custom field columns in Contacts and Opportunities table widgets.
- Birthdate column added as a built-in option for Contacts widgets.
- Dashboards and Custom Reports both support these fields.
Add a Custom Field to a Table Widget
- Open the dashboard or custom report and click Edit.
- Click Add Widget and choose a Contacts or Opportunities table widget.
- Open the column selector inside that widget.
- Check the custom fields you want displayed.
- Click Save.
Selected columns now render in the table view alongside the standard fields.
Permissions
You only need permission to edit the dashboard or report. There’s no separate setting to enable custom fields as columns.
What This Doesn’t Change
Adding fields to a widget is a display change. It does not modify contact records, alter the underlying data, or affect existing automations referencing those fields.
