Protect specific custom fields by making them read-only 🔒
This update lets account owners lock down important information in specific custom fields by making the fields read-only.
You can use read-only custom fields to keep track of important data that should remain intact and unchanged by agent and lender users, such as agent commissions or the referral source of particular leads.
Account owners can set existing fields as read-only on desktop, as well as set new fields to “read-only” during creation.
Read-only custom fields can be edited by account owners and admin team members on desktop. Other team members see a padlock icon indicating the field as read-only.
If the read-only custom field has a large amount of text, a dropdown can be opened on desktop to view and copy the full contents. On the iPhone app, users can tap into a read-only custom field to view the full contents.
Third party integrations can also now create and set read-only custom fields via the Follow Up Boss API.

Performance update helps your scrolling stay on track
We fixed a previous issue that caused pages to scroll to the top of the screen when opening a modal on desktop.

Before this update, here’s what used to happen when opening the collaborators modal from a contact profile (notice how the contact profile in the background unexpectedly scrolls to the top after opening the modal):
And here’s how it performs after this update (no more scroll whiplash!):

Organize important links by adding them to contact or deal Files
Now you can save URL links to important pages, such as Google Drive links, in a contact’s or deal’s Files section.
When adding items to Files, you’ll see a new option for adding links, in addition to uploading actual files.
Here's one way to use this: If you have a Google Sheet shared with a listing client to track progress on their home’s sale, now you can save a link to the sheet in their Files section for quick reference.
For more information on how to organize important information in a contact’s or deal’s Files, check out the help guide here.
Please note: Files are currently viewable on desktop, and aren’t yet available in mobile apps.

Send emails from any of your addresses
Now you can change the “from” email address when sending emails if you have access to multiple emails through a Team Inbox. This gives you a seamless way to handoff new leads to agents by sending a quick intro email on their behalf.
With a clear view of the “from” address on emails, you’ll never be uncertain which email your contacts will see.
Note: This does not apply to batch emails or Action Plan emails currently.
