What are records?

Records are the core data in Bigdelta. They represent the people, companies, and subscriptions you track. Common record types include:
  • Accounts — Your customers in your product or billing system (primary for revenue tracking)
  • Users — Individual people within accounts
  • Companies — Organizations that accounts belong to
  • Subscriptions — Active subscription records
  • Deals — Sales opportunities
  • Feedback — Customer feedback entries
You can also create custom objects for any data type unique to your business, giving you flexibility to track whatever matters most.
Each account record is automatically assigned a Revenue Stage (Paying, Trialing, Non-Paying, Churned) based on billing data and a Product Stage (Engaged, Activated, Non-Activated, Dormant) based on usage data. These stages appear as columns in the accounts list and on individual profiles.

Browsing records

  1. Click Customers in the top navigation
  2. Select an object type from the sidebar (e.g., Accounts, Users)
  3. Browse records in the default table view

View types

You can view your records in three different layouts. Use the view selector at the top of the records list to switch between them.

Table view

A spreadsheet-style grid with sortable columns. This is the default view and works well for scanning large numbers of records.

Board view

A Kanban-style board organized by a stage property. Drag cards between columns to update their stage. This is ideal for tracking records through a pipeline or workflow.

Map view

A geographic view for records with location data. Map view is available for Accounts, Users, and Companies. Choose between two visualization styles:
  • Heatmap — Density-based coloring that highlights concentrations of records
  • Bubble — Size-based clustering that shows record counts by area

Creating views

You can save different views for the same record type. Each view remembers its own layout, column configuration, filters, and sorting.
  1. Configure your preferred layout, filters, and sorting
  2. Click the view name dropdown
  3. Select Create new view
  4. Name your view and save
Create separate views for different workflows. For example, you might have a “High MRR accounts” view with a revenue filter and an “At-risk accounts” view filtered by churn indicators.

Filtering records

  1. Click the filter icon above the records list
  2. Add filter conditions (e.g., “Industry equals SaaS” or “MRR greater than $500”)
  3. Combine multiple filters with AND or OR logic
  4. Filters are saved per view

Sorting records

  • In Table view, click any column header to sort ascending or descending
  • In Board view, choose a sort property from the board settings
  • Sort settings persist within each view

Searching records

Use the search bar above the records list to search across all visible record properties in real time. Results update as you type.
