Customising your workspaceAdmin only6 min read

Customise the Lead Info panel

The Lead Info panel is what your team sees on the right of every conversation. Reorder it, hide what you don’t use, group your custom fields, and rename sections — so reps see the right details first, every time. There’s a 30-second version below; everything after it is optional depth.
Before you begin
You need to be an organisation admin with permission to edit leads — the Customize button only shows for you. Your layout saves for the whole workspace, so everyone sees the same panel.

The 30-second version

If you only do one thing, do this. The rest of the guide is for when you want more control.

Successfully updated lead panel
The whole job, looping: open a conversation, click Customize, drag a section up, click the eye to hide one, then Save.
You can’t break anything
Nothing is live until you press Save. Hiding a section never deletes data, and Cancel throws away every change. Experiment freely.

The panel, labelled

Click Customize in the top-right of the Lead Info panel and it switches into edit mode — the header swaps in Cancel and Save, and every section sprouts handles and controls.

Three kinds of section

The single idea that makes this panel click: not every section can do the same things. There are three kinds.

  • Locked — the System block, and the required fields inside Contact Details. Always visible, can’t be moved or hidden.
  • Yours to shape — the custom field groups you create. Reorder, hide, rename, and add or remove fields freely.
  • Built-in, movableCollaborators, Notes and Workflows. You can reorder and hide them, but not rename them or change their contents.

The four moves

Everything you can do in Customize mode is one of four moves. Each saves into the layout the moment you press Save.

1 · Reorder a section

Grab the handle and drag a section up or down — a violet line shows where it’ll land. Don’t like dragging? The arrows nudge it one place at a time. Put what reps check most near the top.

Notes
Drag a section by its handle — the violet line shows where it will drop.

2 · Show or hide a section

Click the to hide a section, or the to bring it back. Hidden sections aren’t deleted — they just stop showing, so you can declutter without losing a thing.

3 · Rename a custom group

On a group you created, click the pencil, type a clearer label, and press Enter. Names like “Deal Details” or “Enrolment Info” let reps scan the panel in a glance.

The group name becomes an editable field — type a new label and press Enter.

4 · Add, move & remove fields

Inside a custom group you can fine-tune the fields themselves:

  • Reorder — drag a field by its handle within the group.
  • Move between groups — drag a field straight from one group into another.
  • Add — click Add field and search for any field from another group or from Unassigned.
  • Remove — click the on a field to send it to the Unassigned tray.

Inside a group, fields follow the same rules: drag to reorder, Add field to pull one in from Unassigned, and the ✕ to send one back.

Contact Details & system fields

Contact Details behaves a little differently. The section itself can’t be moved, hidden or renamed — but you can tidy the fields inside it. Five required fields stay locked: First name, Last name, Phone number, Email and Tags. Everything below them — the social handles and any contact custom fields — can be dragged to reorder and ticked on or off.

Required fields are locked. Drag to reorder, toggle to show or hide.

Required fields carry a lock. Optional ones below have a checkbox — untick to hide, drag to reorder.
Shared with the Contact panel
These Contact Details choices are shared with the Contact Info panel, so the fields stay consistent across both views.

The Unassigned tray

Any field that isn’t inside a group lands in the Unassigned tray at the bottom of the panel. It’s a holding area, not a hidden section.

This is the #1 “where did my field go?”
Unassigned fields don’t appear on anyone’s Lead Info panel until you add them to a section. If a field seems “missing” for your team, check here first, then drag it into a group or use Add field.

Save your layout

When it looks right, click Save. You’ll see a “Successfully updated lead panel” confirmation, and the new layout rolls out to everyone in your workspace right away. Changed your mind mid-edit? Cancel — or just closing the panel — discards everything since you opened Customize.

Worked example

A tuition centre wants reps to see enrolment details first and skip the clutter. Start to finish:

  1. 1Open a chat with any enquiring parent and click Customize.
  2. 2Drag your Enrolment Info group up to just under System, so reps see subject and level first.
  3. 3Rename a vague group from “Group 2” to Enrolment Info with the pencil.
  4. 4Click Add field and pull “Preferred slot” out of Unassigned into that group.
  5. 5Hide Workflows with the eye — your front desk doesn’t need it.
  6. 6Press Save. Every rep’s panel now leads with what matters for enrolment.

If something looks off

The handful of things that trip people up — and the fix for each.

I don’t see the Customize button.
It only appears for organisation admins who can edit leads. If you see a “Read-only — your role does not permit editing leads” banner, you’re not an editor — ask an admin to make the change.
A field is missing for my whole team.
It’s almost always sitting in the Unassigned tray — unassigned fields don’t show until they’re added to a section. Open Customize, scroll to the bottom, and drag it (or use Add field) into a group.
My change didn’t appear.
Did you press Save? Nothing is live until you do. Closing the panel or hitting Cancel throws the edits away.
I can’t rename Contact Details, Notes, Collaborators or Workflows.
Only your own custom field groups can be renamed. The built-in sections keep their names — but you can still move or hide most of them.
I can’t hide a field inside Contact Details.
The five required fields — First name, Last name, Phone number, Email and Tags — are locked. The optional fields below them (Telegram, Facebook, Instagram and your contact custom fields) can be reordered and toggled off.
Will hiding a section delete its data?
No. Hiding only stops a section showing on the panel. The data stays exactly where it is and comes straight back when you show the section again.
