Teamopipe field types explained
Explains every Teamopipe field type and the best use case for each.
Teamopipe supports several field types. Choosing the right type makes data entry faster and keeps your pipeline easier to filter and export.
Text
Free-form text input. Best for: notes, descriptions, referral name, company name, contract number. Avoid using text for things that should be a dropdown (like lead source) — inconsistent entries make filtering and exports messy.
Number
Numeric values only. Best for: deal value, budget, team size, project hours. Do not include currency symbols in the value — just the number.
Date
Calendar date picker. Best for: expected close date, contract start, renewal date. Note: if you're west of GMT, enter one day ahead due to the known UTC offset bug.
Dropdown / single choice
Pick one option from a predefined list. Best for: lead source, industry, contract type, priority. Add your choices in Settings → Data fields before using the field.
Tags / multi-select
Pick one or more options. Best for: deal labels, service types, team roles, anything where multiple values can apply at once.
