The Current CRM: companies, deals, and the Sales Home

Most CRMs are a second database — a place you copy company names and deal amounts into, disconnected from the tickets, contracts, and hours your team actually delivers. Current's CRM is built the other way around: every company record is anchored on your PSA data — ConnectWise, Autotask, or HaloPSA — so the same MRR, contract, and seat-count figures your PSA already tracks show up automatically, without anyone re-typing them.

When Current syncs your PSA's companies and contracts or agreements, it builds a company profile for each one — active MRR, licensed seats, contract status — straight from that data. Current adds the sales layer on top: deals, activities, ownership, and AI insight. If a company already has an active contract or agreement in your PSA, Current knows it's a customer the moment the sync runs. Nobody has to manually flag it.

• ＋Companies — the anchored record for every account, from cold prospect to long-time customer. See "The company record: your single view of every account" for what's on the page.
• ＋Deals — the pipeline that tracks a piece of business from first conversation to won or lost. See "Working deals: pipelines, stages, and winning".
• ＋Sales Home — the landing page for anyone with CRM access: your day's follow-ups, your pipeline, and AI-surfaced insight, or the whole team's if you lead sales.
• ＋Goals — where sales leadership sets the targets every pace bar measures against, one period at a time. See "Setting sales goals and tracking progress".

The Companies list starts with everything in it, which is rarely the list you want to work. Set the filters you want, arrange the columns, sort the way you read, then choose "Save view…" above the filter bar and give it a name. It appears as a pill you can click to get back to that exact list any time. A view remembers all three parts — the filters, the column arrangement, and the sort — so opening it tomorrow puts you back where you were.

Saved views and the Columns control work the same way on every CRM list. Each page keeps its own views: a view you save on Companies appears on Companies, not on Contacts. On Deals the same views live in a View menu at the right end of the toolbar instead of a pill row — open it to apply a view, save one, update it, share it, or make it your default; the button names the view you're on, and adds "edited" the moment your filters drift from what it saved.

• ＋Companies — filters, columns, and sort.
• ＋Leads — the same, plus which of the two views you were in (Funnel or List), which status you had selected, and who you had it assigned to. Save a view from the List and clicking its pill takes you back to the list.
• ＋Contacts — filters, columns, and sort. Every contacts column sorts now, and the sorting happens in the database across everyone who matches your filters, so the order holds when you press Show more.
• ＋Deals — filters, columns, and sort, on the List and All tabs. The Board is a set of stage columns rather than a table, so the Columns control (beside the Board/List toggle at the top of the page) sits out while you're on it; your filters still save from either.
• ＋The contacts inside a CRM list — your search and your columns. Open a list, stay on its Contacts tab, and the view bar and Columns control sit above the table.

Open Columns at the right of the filter bar. Untick anything you never read and it leaves the table; the arrows next to each column move it left or right. The 0 to 3 control at the bottom keeps that many columns in place while the rest scroll sideways, which is what you want on a narrow screen when the company name keeps disappearing. Every change lands as you make it, so you can see the real table while you choose. "Reset to default" puts everything back.

• ＋The name column and the row's action buttons are always shown — a list you can't read or act on isn't a list.
• ＋Columns only lists what the page you're on actually has. On Deals there is no Pipeline column while you're inside a single pipeline, no Value column unless you're allowed to see deal amounts, and no Closed column until a won or lost deal is in view. A column you can't see isn't hiding behind an unticked box — it isn't there.
• ＋"Export CSV" sends the columns you can see, in the order you put them, so the file matches the screen. Money columns carry your workspace currency code in the header, like "MRR (GBP)", and the cells stay plain numbers so a spreadsheet can do arithmetic on them. On Companies, "Export all" walks every page the same way. On the Deals list it covers every deal matching your filters, not just the page on screen; inside a CRM list it covers the page you're on, which is all that table loads.
• ＋Your working arrangement is yours alone and follows you between browsers. It only becomes something other people can see when you save it as a view and share that view.

Each list carries more than it shows. The extra columns start switched off, so a table you never touched looks the way it always has; open Columns and tick the ones you want. Everything you turn on lands in the CSV, and nearly everything sorts — the one exception is called out on its own column.

• ＋Companies — City, State, Industry, Market segment, Lead source, Created, and Last activity. Sorting any of them orders the whole directory rather than the rows currently on screen.
• ＋Deals — Probability, Forecast, Contract term, Lead source, Created, and Days in funnel. Days in funnel counts from the day the deal was created and keeps counting when it changes stage, which is the difference between it and In stage.
• ＋Contacts — Mobile phone, Email health, Created, Last activity, City, and State. Email health is the same verification badge that sits next to the address, given its own column so you can sort every questionable address to the top.
• ＋Last activity on a company, and on a contact, is the company's most recent signal — an activity, a ticket, or a synced email — worked out overnight. On Contacts the column says "(company)" so it never reads as when you last spoke to that person.

The fields your workspace added to companies — EBITDA, annual revenue, % recurring, employees, whatever your team tracks — are columns on Companies too. They start switched off like the rest of the extra columns, so defining a field changes nobody's table until they turn it on in Columns. Each one sorts by its real value, money and numbers by size and dates by date, with blanks at the bottom whichever direction you sort, and every column you turn on lands in Export CSV and Export all, with the workspace currency code in the header of a money column. Setting the fields up is on the company record, covered in "The company record: your single view of every account".

Next to the rest of the filter bar sits a "Company fields" button. Open it, choose a field, choose a condition, and type the value. Add up to eight and they stack with AND, alongside the filters that were already there. The button carries a count while any of them are set, so a narrowed directory says it was narrowed.

• ＋A money, number, or percent field offers Over, Under, Equals, and Is not.
• ＋A text field offers Contains, Equals, and Is not.
• ＋A date field offers After, Before, and On.
• ＋Every field also offers Has a value and Is empty, which take no value of their own — useful for finding the accounts nobody has filled in yet.
• ＋Beside it, an Open deal control cuts the list to companies with a deal still in play, or to the ones without. An open deal is any deal before won or lost, in any pipeline.

The filtering happens in the database across every company matching the rest of your filters, so the count at the top and the order you sorted by both hold when you page through. Save the combination as a view and the conditions come back with it.

Custom fields you added to a pipeline are columns on that pipeline's list. Open Columns on the List tab and they sit with the rest, off until you turn them on. They sort by their real value — money and numbers by size, dates by date — and blank ones sit at the bottom whichever direction you sort. The CSV carries the raw value so a spreadsheet can do its own arithmetic on it, with your workspace currency code in the header of a money column.

They only appear on their own pipeline. The All tab spans pipelines that each define their own fields, so a field from one would be blank down most of the list; Columns leaves them out there rather than offering a column that can't be filled in. Setting fields up is on the Deal pipelines and custom fields article.

There are two ways to hand a view to somebody, and they are not the same. On one of your own views, open its pill and choose "Share with people…" to pick named teammates: they get the view in their own view bar and can apply it, but it stays yours to change or delete. You don't need to lead sales to do this — it's your view. Sales leadership additionally has "Share with team", which publishes a view to everyone with CRM access.

The Sales section only appears in the sidebar for people who've been given CRM access. Account Executives and Sales Managers have it by default; a Tenant Admin can extend it to a Project Manager or Engineer, who then get a read-only slice: Sales Home, plus Companies and Contacts in the menu section named for whatever your workspace calls the businesses you serve. No pipeline, no financial detail. Partners never see any of it, under any circumstance. See "Sales Manager vs. Account Executive: who sees what" for the full breakdown, and "Roles & permissions: who sees what" for how roles work tenant-wide.

Open Sales Home and Current shows a different view depending on your role, both of them a grid of tiles with one number each. An Account Executive sees "Your Day": their seven goals across the top, each with a bar and a tick marking where they should be today; a morning brief; their open book; seats, first appointments and motions; the accounts closest to churning; to-dos; and a short list of AI-surfaced coaching insights, capped low on purpose so it never turns into noise. A Sales Manager or Admin sees the Team Cockpit instead: the money row and the team's pace, the leaderboard across the whole sales team, wins and losses split by motion, and the same goal tracking rolled up. Leadership can flip between their own day and the team view from a switch at the top of the page, and the rest of the controls stay put when they do. See "The sales dashboard: pipeline, pace, and the leaderboard" for the tile-by-tile walkthrough.

A standalone CRM stops knowing anything the moment a deal closes. Current doesn't — it keeps watching the same account through tickets, project health, contract seats, and hours delivered, because that data already lives in the platform. That's what powers things like the AI relationship read on the company record and the renewal and whitespace signals surfaced elsewhere in the CRM. Your CRM and your delivery platform are the same system, not two logins that drift apart.
