How to Reorder Your CRM Sidebar in Carly

Use Move up or Move down in an object’s ⋯ settings menu to change its position in Carly’s CRM sidebar. The order is saved for that workspace, so you can put Deals, or an object you’ve renamed, above People.

Move an object above People

  1. Open Carly’s CRM and select the workspace you want to organize.
  2. Find the object under Records. On a narrow screen, tap CRM menu to show the sidebar.
  3. Click the ⋯ settings button beside the object’s name.
  4. Choose Move up. The object moves above the previous visible object in that section.
  5. Repeat until it is in the position you want. If Deals starts below Companies, moving it above People takes two moves.
  6. Reload the page to check the saved order.

Choose Move down to move the object the other way. At the top of a section, Move up is absent; at the bottom, Move down is absent. You can operate the settings button and menu with a keyboard as well as a pointer.

The order belongs to the workspace

In a team workspace, teammates see the same saved object order. Your Personal CRM keeps its own order. You need permission to manage the workspace’s CRM to change it.

Objects move within their existing section: Records stays separate from Custom. A hidden object retains its saved position when shown again. New objects appear after objects whose order has already been saved in that section.

Moving an object does not rename it, move its records, change its stages, or reorder cards inside a board. For those tasks, see renaming a CRM object or sorting records and saving a view.

Ask Carly to move it

You can ask:

In our Studio workspace, move Deals before People in the CRM sidebar.

Use the object’s current name or identify the original Deals object if you’ve renamed it. A restricted agent may need broader CRM access to update the shared sidebar order. The website uses your own workspace permissions.

Troubleshooting

Why did the order change for a teammate too?

Sidebar order is shared within a team workspace. It is not a private preference for each team member.

Why are the cards still in the same order?

The sidebar controls navigation between objects. Use the Sort control inside an object’s table or board to reorder its records.

Why is Move up missing?

The object is already first among the visible objects in its section. It cannot move from Custom into Records using this control.

See what people say

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.

Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.

On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
