Customizing the field
Solution managers can choose to display a simple phone number, Phone + Country Flat (and format), and Number + Country Flag (and format) + Phone Type.
We recommend Number + Country Flag + Phone Type for scenarios allowing multiple entries such as a Contacts table.

Phone Format Placeholders
Phone formats vary from country to country. The Default tab of the Phone field settings defines the format in which placeholder values will be displayed. The placeholder value is important, as it gives users a clear guide of what they are expected to enter as a valid phone number in the field.
SmartSuite defaults the phone format to the locale of the user, but Solution Managers can override this by selecting a particular country.
You'll note the + Add Phone Number button appears when multiple phone entries are allowed, but only after the first phone value is added to the field.
