# Contact Settings
**Overview:-** Contact Settings is where admins configure which fields appear on every contact form and detail page, and how contacts move through your pipeline stages.
**Where to Find It**
1. Click the **Settings** icon in the bottom-left corner
2. Select **Contact Settings** from the sidebar
Two tabs sit across the top: **Fields** and **Stages**.
**Fields**
The **Fields** tab controls which fields appear on the Add Contact form, the contact detail page, and filter panels. **Default Fields** shows your 10 built-in fields, each with two independent toggles:
| **Toggle** | **Controls** |
| :----------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Active** | Whether the field is visible on forms, the detail page, and filters |
| **Required** | Whether the field must be filled in before saving a contact |
| **Field** | **Type** | **Notes** |
| :----------------------- | :-------- | :------------------------------------- |
| **Contact Name** | Name | Active, Required — includes 1 subfield |
| **Contact Details** | Text Area | Active, not Required |
| **Contact Phone Number** | Phone | Active, not Required |
| **Contact Email ID** | Email | Active, not Required |
| **Contact Address** | Address | Active, not Required |
| **Contact LinkedIn** | URL | Active, not Required |
Click **+ Add Field** to create a custom field beyond the defaults — you'll select its section and field type, and can set field-level permissions per role at the same time.
### **Stages**
Use the **Stages** tab to define and manage the pipeline stages contacts move through:
* Click **Add Stage** to create a new stage
* Use **Guided Mode** to add stages by stage type more efficiently
* Click the **3-dot menu** on any stage to edit or delete it
These stages appear in the Contact Stage dropdown when creating or editing a contact, and as filter values on the Contacts list.
