How do I customize columns in the Contacts table?

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Customize the Contacts table so All contacts shows the fields and data columns that matter for your current task.

Before you start

  • Open Contacts and decide which fields you need to review.

  • Confirm you have access to any custom fields or object data you want to show.

  • Review column choices before exporting a view for another team.

Steps

  1. Open Contacts from the main sidebar.

  2. Select All contacts.

  3. Open the table view or column settings control.

  4. Choose the contact fields that should appear in the table.

  5. Hide columns that are not useful for the current workflow.

  6. Apply the changes.

  7. Review the updated table.

  8. Use Search or Filter to narrow the table when needed.

  9. Use Export view when the export should reflect the current view, where supported.

Tips

  • Show only the fields needed for the current task so the table stays easy to scan.

  • Add identifiers such as phone, email, or external ID when checking data quality.

  • Add tags, lists, or preference fields when preparing an audience for messaging.

  • Review column choices before exporting a view.

Troubleshooting

  • If a field is not available as a column, check contact setup, object setup, synced data, and user permissions.

  • If the table is hard to scan, hide fields that are not needed for the current workflow.

  • If an export is missing expected fields, review column settings and export options before exporting again.
