Hi @CWright514,

You can do so by creating a property: [Create and edit properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/create-and-edit-properties)

Once created, you can place it in the left sidebar of your records: [Customize the properties shown on records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/customize-properties-in-record-sections)

You can also add it on the index page, e.g. if you’re creating this for contacts, under Menu \> CRM \> Contacts. Simply click “Edit columns” in the top right corner of the table.

Best regards!
