Custom Field Integration
Custom Fields Available for Mapping |
Custom fields in Tamarac Reporting allow you to capture details unique to your firm that the system does not include by default. For example, if your organization assigns internal account codes to distinguish management styles, you can create a custom field to track and report on these account codes in Tamarac Reporting.
By mapping the same client or account information from Tamarac Reporting to Tamarac CRM, you can better synchronize records across both systems, ensuring seamless tracking of custom data between Reporting and CRM.
This page provides information about the custom field integration. For steps to use it, see Manage Custom Field Mapping.
To map custom fields from Tamarac Reporting to Tamarac CRM, the following criteria must be met:
You must be a CRM Data Manager by having the assigned Security Role Tamarac Data Manager (Managed), or you must be a CRM System Administrator. To learn more, see Create Users in Dynamics 365.
Household Data Integration must be enabled in Tamarac CRM. Typically, this is done during the initial setup of your site. To learn more, see Enabling Tamarac Platform Integrations.
You must have custom fields created for Households in Tamarac Reporting. To learn more, see Custom Fields for Accounts, Groups, Households, and Securities.
The custom field mapping views will appear for a user under Field Mappings only when the criteria are met. The custom field mappings are separate from the existing managed field mappings that are created during firm onboarding.
Data Managers and System Administrators can access and maintain the custom field mappings, but only System Administrators can delete mappings.
Mapped custom fields sync between Tamarac Reporting and Tamarac CRM automatically. As you update Household records on one system, the custom fields update in the other system bi-directionally.
Tamarac Reporting | Direction | Tamarac CRM | Sync Frequency |
---|---|---|---|
Household custom fields | Account | Immediately on change being made |
There are several types of fields available for use in custom field mapping. You can create custom fields in Tamarac Reporting and corresponding custom fields are pre-built in Tamarac CRM for use in the mapping process.
Although you can create custom fields in both Tamarac CRM and Tamarac Reporting, this integration doesn’t use custom fields created in CRM. Instead, it maps custom fields from Tamarac Reporting to unique CRM fields created for this integration.
You can map up to five of each Tamarac Reporting field type to a corresponding field in Tamarac CRM. One mapping from Tamarac Reporting will use one of the unique integration fields.
For example, when you map a custom field from Tamarac Reporting that is a string, it is mapped to one of the corresponding unique string fields created in Tamarac CRM.
The following are each of the Tamarac Reporting field types with their corresponding unique CRM mapping field:
