Custom Properties allow you to add the Supplier context that matters to you and your team. This will help you to stay organised and give you the structured data you need when reviewing your entire supplier base. Using Custom Properties you are able to define your own Custom Properties with the types below and easily filter, sort and export your full supplier list.


Here are some of the properties that you can start using today:

  • Text - basic text for short notes such as the name of an internal business owner.

  • Select - dropdown menu of options, to categorise suppliers as you need.

  • Number - decimal numbers, such as an internal identifier or contract value.

  • Date - select past or future dates, to set deadlines or record contract renewal dates.

  • Boolean - used to indicate whether something is false or true.

  • URL - a special text field for including website links.

  • Email - a specific text field for including an email address, such as business contact.
