Standard Fields &#8211; such as First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, and Lead Source &#8211; are created and managed by Zoho and cannot be deleted, though most can be renamed or hidden via a Page Layout.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>What is a Standard Field in Zoho CRM?<\/h2>\n<p>Standard Fields are the foundational fields that every Zoho CRM module comes with out of the box. In the Leads module, for example, Standard Fields include: First Name, Last Name, Company, Email, Phone, Lead Source, Lead Status, Annual Revenue, Industry, and Owner. These fields are mapped to common sales data points and are used by Zoho&#8217;s built-in reports, automation, and integrations.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/custom-field-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Custom Fields<\/a>, which you create yourself, Standard Fields cannot be deleted. However, they can be marked as mandatory, hidden on specific <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/page-layout-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Page Layouts<\/a>, or renamed to match your internal terminology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Renaming Standard Fields<\/h2>\n<p>If your sales team calls &#8220;Leads&#8221; something different &#8211; like &#8220;Prospects&#8221; or &#8220;Enquiries&#8221; &#8211; you can rename the field labels in Zoho CRM without affecting the underlying data structure or API field names. The API name stays the same; only the display label changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Real Estate:<\/strong> A property developer renames the &#8220;Annual Revenue&#8221; Standard Field on the Leads module to &#8220;Budget&#8221; to better match their intake form. The underlying field stores the same data, but the label in the UI and the web-to-lead form now says &#8220;Budget&#8221;, reducing confusion for the sales team.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Related Terms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/custom-field-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Custom Field<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/page-layout-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Page Layout<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/mandatory-field-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Mandatory Field<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/read-only-field-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Read-Only Field<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is a Standard Field in Zoho CRM?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Standard Field in Zoho CRM is a pre-built field that ships with every module by default.
