Customizing Contact Record Card Properties in HubSpot 🛠️
(within contact record)
- Accessing Settings
- Click the settings gear icon.
- Go to the section where you can edit the record side bar (left-hand properties card).
- Click the settings gear icon.
- Editing the Properties Card
- Remove properties → click the trash can icon.
- Reorder properties → drag and drop or use arrows.
- Add properties → click Add properties.
- Save changes when finished.
- Remove properties → click the trash can icon.
- Applying Changes
- If the view is unassigned, all users will see the updated layout.
- If multiple views exist (e.g., sales view, service view), you must update each one separately.
- To apply changes only to a specific team (e.g., Sales), edit just that team’s view.
- If the view is unassigned, all users will see the updated layout.
- Important Distinction
- Settings-level changes (via the gear icon) = apply to everyone (depending on view assignment).
- Record-level changes (via Actions → Customize Properties on an individual record) = apply only to you, not to other users.
- Settings-level changes (via the gear icon) = apply to everyone (depending on view assignment).
✅ Key takeaway: Use settings to make company- or team-wide updates to contact record properties. If you edit properties directly on a record, those changes are personal only and won’t affect other users.
