Properties are used to collect, store, and manage specific data points about your records such as contacts, companies, deals, or tickets. These customizable fields allow you to organize and track information efficiently.
Properties ensure that all relevant details are captured for future processing, analysis, or import.
properties are grouped and managed based on the record type they belong to. Each record type has its own set of properties used to store relevant information.

Companies | Properties related to organizations or businesses (e.g., industry, owner, team, domain). |
Deals | Properties tracking sales opportunities (e.g., deal stage, amount, close date). |
Tickets | Properties related to customer support or service requests (e.g., status, priority, category). |
