How to Add or Subtract Columns on Your Listing Page in Kylas CRM?

In Kylas CRM, the listing page (also called the list or table view) is where you see a grid of records—such as leads, deals, contacts, or companies. To make your day-to-day CRM experience more efficient, Kylas lets you customize the columns shown on these pages so you only see the data that matters most to you.

This guide will walk you through all the prerequisites, supported modules, step-by-step actions, real-world use cases, and best practices.


Prerequisites

Before you begin customizing the columns:

  • You must have access to the module you're customizing (e.g., Leads, Deals, Contacts, etc.)

  • You should have View permission for the fields you want to display in your list view

  • No admin rights are required – every user can personalize their own column layout

  • Ensure the fields (standard or custom) are already created in that module
