Custom Entities

HARi CRM is metadata-driven. You can create custom entity types to match your exact business model.

What is an entity?

An entity is a type of data in your CRM. HARi comes with these built-in (via solutions):

• Contact — people you interact with
• Company — organizations
• Lead — potential customers
• Opportunity — deals in your pipeline
• Task — things to do
• Invoice — billing documents

Creating a custom entity

Go to Settings > Schema and click + New Entity.

1. Enter a name (e.g., “Property”, “Case”, “Vehicle”)
2. Choose an icon and color
3. Add fields (text, number, date, select, relation, currency, etc.)
4. Configure which fields appear in list view, detail view, and create form
5. Save — the entity is immediately available to all users

No deployment. No code. No restart.
