Index Table Add Column Suggestions & Templates
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
What it is
The Add Column picker on CRM index tables now surfaces personalized property suggestions and smart property templates in one place, so you can find an existing property or create a new one backed by Data Agent without leaving the index page. Public beta, all hubs and tiers.
Why it matters
Finding the right property to add to a table is hard. Sometimes what you need is buried in a long list or does not exist yet. This brings the most relevant properties to the top and puts smart property templates in the flow of work, so you spend less time configuring and searching.
The Take
Being empowered to do it yourself makes that change even easier.
A lot of salespeople still work out of segments instead of index views, and that is mostly habit. The index table has gotten steadily better, and every improvement makes it easier to move a team over. What has held the move back is that the rep has to know which columns to add, so the change lands as a stream of requests to the admin: can you add this, can you change that. Being empowered to do it yourself is what makes the change stick.
The other side of this is what the suggestions teach. The people whose whole job is inside HubSpot are often the ones seeing index pages for the first time, because when you have a job to do and a procedure to follow you do not explore. Never assume any knowledge of HubSpot exists until you have talked about it or shown it on screen. A suggestion with a why attached is a small piece of that teaching happening inside the product instead of on a call.

FAQ
Where do the suggestions appear?
When you click to add a column on an index table. The suggested properties show at the top, and hovering one explains why it was recommended.
Does this replace the full property picker?
No. The full add-columns screen still exists for adding several columns at once or browsing everything. The suggestions are a faster path when you want one relevant column.
Who gets it?
Private beta across all hubs and tiers.
