We've heard this from sales reps in dozens of portals: they spend real time configuring their Deals view on desktop, adding close date, deal amount, and a custom priority field, then pick up their phone and see a completely different set of properties. They tap into individual records just to find what the desktop view already showed them at a glance.
That friction is gone now. HubSpot shipped a long-overdue fix, and it's available to every hub and tier right now.
What This Update Actually Is
When you open a list view in the HubSpot mobile app (Deals, Contacts, Companies, Tickets, or any object), the record cards now pull their properties directly from the matching desktop table view. Whatever columns you've set up on desktop show up on mobile, in the same order, starting from the leftmost column.
The app displays up to 20 properties per record. If you reorder columns on desktop, mobile updates automatically. The active sort property also appears on each record card unless it's already in your display set.
This isn't a new settings screen inside the mobile app. You control everything from the desktop. Mobile just follows your lead.
Why HubSpot Shipped This
The external problem was a real workflow gap. Mobile list views showed a fixed, generic set of properties with zero customization. The data you carefully configured on desktop simply didn't carry over. Humans working in the field, at a client site, or between meetings had to make do with whatever HubSpot decided to surface by default.
The internal frustration was just as real. CRM admins and RevOps leads spend serious time setting up table views so that deal amount, close date, owner, and custom pipeline fields are visible at a glance. Discovering that work doesn't translate to mobile feels like building something twice, or worse, not at all.
HubSpot's answer is clean: one source of truth. Configure it once on desktop, and every surface follows. That philosophy is consistent with other recent record-experience improvements, like the Universal Record Page beta, which brings a faster, cleaner record layout to desktop and mobile alike.
How to Use It Step by Step
- Update your mobile app. Download the latest version of the HubSpot app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The feature is live in the current release.
- Audit your desktop table view. On desktop, navigate to your Contacts, Deals, Companies, or Tickets index page. Look at the columns currently shown. Ask yourself: if you could only see these on a phone, would they help you act without tapping into a record?
- Edit your column configuration. Go to Settings, then Objects, then choose your object type. Reorder and select columns so your highest-priority properties appear in the first 20 slots from the left. You can also edit columns directly from the index page on desktop by clicking the column editor.
- Open the list view on mobile. Go to the same object in the HubSpot mobile app. You'll see your configured properties on each record card, in the same order as your desktop table view.
- Refine as needed. If the card feels cluttered, trim your desktop columns to the 8 to 12 most important fields. Mobile benefits from being focused. Fewer properties per card means faster scanning.
What It Touches in Your HubSpot Strategy
This update is deceptively simple on the surface, but it ripples into several areas of how your team works.
Your table view column configuration just became a cross-device strategy decision, not just a desktop preference. If you've never given serious thought to which properties appear in your object index views, now's the time. The columns you choose directly determine what every mobile user sees when they pull up a list in the field.
Key Takeaway
Your desktop table view is now your mobile view. Treat your column configuration as a cross-device design decision, not a personal preference. Align it with your team's most common mobile workflows before rolling this out.
For sales teams, this means deal amount, close date, pipeline stage, and next activity date should be in the first several columns of your Deals view. For service teams, ticket status, priority, and SLA deadline belong at the front of your Tickets view. For marketing ops, contact lifecycle stage and lead source should lead your Contacts configuration.
Custom properties are fully supported. If you've built a custom urgency score, a customer tier field, or a renewal date property, those can now appear on mobile list cards alongside native HubSpot properties. That's a meaningful win for portals that have invested in custom data modeling.
This also ties directly to how you manage stage-level data. If your pipeline views depend on calculated properties or stage-specific fields, those properties can now surface on mobile without any extra configuration. That connects well to the work of managing stage calculated properties by pipeline, which helps you keep your property set clean and under the 4,500-property limit.
Key Takeaway
Custom properties work here too. If your team has built custom priority scores, renewal dates, or tier fields, put them in your first 20 desktop columns and they'll show up on every rep's mobile list view automatically.
One caveat worth naming: this mirrors your default desktop table view. If different humans on your team use different saved views with different column sets, the mobile experience will reflect whatever the default view is configured to show, not each person's custom saved view. Keep that in mind when planning your column strategy for a shared team.
Who Should Care Most
This update matters most to the following roles and team profiles.
- Field sales reps and account executives who check their deal pipeline between calls and need deal amount, close date, and stage visible at a glance without tapping into every record.
- Sales managers and RevOps leaders who review pipeline health on mobile and want the same data visibility they have at their desk, especially when prepping for a quick stand-up or end-of-day review.
- Service team leads who manage ticket queues and need priority, status, and SLA info visible on mobile without navigating into individual records.
- CRM admins and HubSpot portal managers who now have a direct reason to audit and tighten up their default table view configurations across all objects. This is a good moment to do that work intentionally.
- Owners of growing companies who wear multiple hats and need their CRM to work just as well on a phone as it does on a laptop. This update closes a gap that used to require workarounds or extra taps.
George's Take
I've sat with hundreds of HubSpot portals, and one of the most common patterns I see is a beautifully configured desktop table view that nobody thought about when it comes to mobile. Humans do real work away from their desks now. Deals get discussed in parking lots, tickets get triaged in hallways, and contact follow-ups happen between appointments. When the mobile experience doesn't reflect the decisions you made in your desktop setup, you're not running one CRM strategy, you're running two. This update closes that gap, and it does it in the simplest possible way: configure once, see everywhere. My advice is to treat this as a trigger to go audit your default table views right now, because what's in those columns is about to matter a lot more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change what properties appear in my HubSpot mobile list view?
You can't edit the mobile list view directly inside the app. Instead, update your desktop table view column configuration by going to Settings, then Objects, then choosing your object type. You can also edit columns from the object index page on desktop. Mobile mirrors whatever you configure there, up to 20 properties from the left.
Does the HubSpot mobile list view sync automatically when I change my desktop columns?
Yes. When you reorder or change columns in your desktop table view, the HubSpot mobile app automatically reflects the new order and selection. There's no manual sync step. Open the list view in the app and your updated configuration will already be in place.
How many properties can the HubSpot mobile list view display per record?
The mobile list view displays up to 20 properties per record. It pulls them from your desktop table view configuration starting from the leftmost column. If your sort property isn't already in the first 20 columns, it appears on the card as a bonus field.
Is this HubSpot mobile list view update available on all plans?
Yes. This feature is available to all HubSpot hubs and tiers, including Free accounts. It works on both iOS and Android. You'll need the latest version of the HubSpot mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to access it.
Do custom properties show up in the HubSpot mobile list view?
Yes. Custom properties are fully supported. If you've built custom fields like urgency scores, renewal dates, or tier labels, adding them to your desktop table view columns means they'll appear on your mobile record cards automatically, right alongside native HubSpot properties.
What's the best way to set up my HubSpot table view for mobile use?
Start with your team's most common mobile tasks. For sales, prioritize deal amount, close date, pipeline stage, and next activity. For service, lead with ticket status, priority, and SLA deadline. Keep your total column count to 10 to 12 for the cleanest mobile experience. Fewer properties per card means faster scanning in the field.
