Take Control of Your Data with Nimble’s Customizable List View

Product Updates

| Post by

At Nimble, we’re always striving to enhance your experience by making our platform more intuitive and adaptable to your unique workflow.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce an update that allows you to expand and customize the size of your list view columns, giving you more control over how you view and manage your data.

What’s New with List View Columns

Expanded Columns

Gone are the days of struggling to view key details at a glance. With this update, we’ve expanded the list view columns so you can see more information without having to open individual contact records.

Whether you’re reviewing outreach status, upcoming tasks, or specific tags, your data is now easier to scan and act on.

Customizable Column Sizes

Now, you can adjust the width of each column to fit your needs.

Resize fields like Company Name, Email, Title, or Custom Tags to make what matters most stand out. This flexibility gives your list view a spreadsheet-like feel, great for organizing and managing high volumes of data efficiently.

Enhanced User Experience

If you’re still relying on spreadsheets, your data is likely stale and doesn’t update automatically. This isn’t just a visual upgrade—it’s a major workflow improvement.

Adjustable columns let you prioritize the data you need most, reducing clicks and eliminating the constant context switching that slows you down.

For example, your “Last Contacted” date won’t update unless you do it manually, like in the image below.

That kind of upkeep adds up fast. It’s easy to lose track of follow-ups, forget who you last engaged with, or worse, reach out too late. With a smarter system, these updates happen automatically, keeping your outreach timely and your workflow effortless.

Why This New View Matters

Here’s how different industries can take full advantage of customizable columns:

  • Public Relations: Add and expand fields like Outlet Name, Pitch Round, Coverage Status, and Last Follow-Up Date to manage media outreach campaigns. Use wider columns for custom notes about journalist preferences or publication deadlines so nothing gets missed.
  • Sales & Business Development: Display Deal Stage, Estimated Close Date, Lead Source, and Engagement Score. Being able to quickly scan your list for high-value or time-sensitive deals helps prioritize follow-ups and keep the pipeline moving.
  • Customer Success: Surface key data points like Renewal Date, Account Tier, Last Check-In, and Open Support Cases. Expanded columns make it easy to track account health and flag accounts that need attention before issues escalate.
  • Event Management: Customize your list with RSVP Status, Dietary Restrictions, Seating Assignment, and Post-Event Task. Whether you’re organizing a webinar, dinner, or full conference, a clear view of attendee details makes coordination smoother.

Improved Efficiency

Quickly scan through contact lists without needing to open individual records. For example:

  • In a press outreach campaign, sort your media contacts by “Last Contacted” and “Follow-Up Date,” and resize those columns to immediately spot who’s due for a nudge.
  • For lead nurturing, expand fields like “Lead Source” and “Engagement Score” to help prioritize which prospects to follow up with first.

Better Organization

Think of this as a dynamic, CRM-friendly spreadsheet. With adjustable columns, you can manage large datasets—like segmented contact lists for different industries or regions, without losing sight of what matters. Save a filtered view for things like:

  • Past Due Follow-Ups: Create a segment with “Next Action Date” and “Owner,” then expand both columns to quickly triage overdue tasks.
  • Email Campaign Monitoring: After sending a group message, adjust the view to include “Opened,” “Clicked,” and “Last Email Date” to assess engagement at a glance.

No matter your role, this update gives you the flexibility to see what matters most, all in one place—just like your own CRM-powered spreadsheet.

How to Use the New Customization Features

You can find these customization options in several key areas of Nimble, allowing you to tailor your workspace for better visibility and efficiency:
