Custom Fields in Marketo - How to tell?

[Caitlin_Poliksa]

How are you able to tell what your custom fields in Marketo are and what are the out of the box fields?

Thanks,

Hi,

This article may help - it lists the default Marketo fields in the company and lead tabs of a record. You can assume any outside of these are custom or synced from your CRM.

if there are in use (not hidden) they are all located at the bottom of the Lead Info tab...

Thanks Diederik. This issue not on a new installation or new fields - it is finding out on a previous fields where there are no naming conventions.

Thanks,

I actually mean "TPG_", but overlooked the fact that you have it mentioned as The Pedowitz Proup in your Marketo Community profile.

I think it's best practise to use a prefix for the custom fields you add. You could use "TPP_" in front of each field name.

Thanks Hitoshi - this seems to be a solution - although a tedious one.

This isn't a very good way because you have to check each field but custom field type can be changed whiel out of the field's type are fixed.
Select the field -> Field Actions -> Change Type

Looks like most Marketo fields have "mkto" or "marketo" in the name, but its not consistent.  Salesforce also indicates the install source of fields, the date and source can provide some clues.

Ok, well, lets just say there is no documentation from the install, any other suggestions on how to pull this?

Best way is to document the list from a fresh install.  This is a recent issue with more modules of Marketo creating additional fields.
