Understanding starred attributes
- ⭐ Starred attributes are prioritized fields — they appear by default on every record view in your workspace.
- ⚪ Unstarred attributes remain hidden until you click Show all values on a record.
This allows each workspace to stay clean and focused by only showing the most relevant fields first.
3
Reorder and customize your attributes
- Drag and drop attributes in the list to define their display order.
- This order determines how they appear in Spott across record detail views.
- To star or unstar an attribute, click the ⭐ icon next to it.
You can tailor your setup per record type — for example:
- Jobs: Location, Employment Type, Contact
- Candidates: Sector, Email, Location
- Companies: Industry, Size, Key Contact
- Contacts: Company, Email, Role

Create or edit custom attributes
- Click Create your own attribute to add new custom fields.
- You can rename, reorder, star, or delete them anytime.
Removing an attribute deletes it from all records — make sure it’s not in use before doing so.
Starred attributes apply workspace-wide, so all users share the same prioritized field view. Adjusting them helps ensure everyone focuses on the same key information.
