Hi,

Brand new to using HUBSpot. I am trying to figure out how to track custom activities at a company level. For example, which products has a company utilized? Ideally, I would be able to filter, too. So, if I wanted to see which firms participated in the 2019 Client Questionnaire, I could do so.

Hope that makes sense - appreciate any guidance.

Hi @KRush,

You would work with [custom properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/manage-your-properties#create-custom-properties) for this. These can have different types, for example multiple checkboxes, single-line text or number. Once created, these become available on each contact record. You can also add them to the left [contact record sidebar](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/customize-record-sidebars).

For products, for example, you could create a multiple checkboxes property. The participation in a specific survey could be a single checkbox.

Keep in mind that in the free CRM, there is a limit of 10 custom properties.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

Thanks so much! So I created a custom company property but I can’t seem to  
figure out where it shows up in the company so that I can check the box.  
I put it in company properties in the group company info. I am missing  
something here!

Hi @KRush,

If you want to add these properties to the company record sidebar on the left, you can follow these steps: [Customize records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/customize-record-sidebars#customize-default-record-sidebars)

Let me know if you have a follow-up question!

We also need this functionality. We have proprietary processes that would be beneficial to track in Activities that we currently cannot due to this limitation.
