Simply CRM allows you to create picklists fields in which the users can only select one of the defined options.
Picklist field values
Picklist field values represent drop-down fields within which only one of the available options can be selected. For example, Lead Status in the Leads module is a picklist field.
In Simply CRM, you can use picklist fields to add new values, edit or delete existing values. It’s important that you understand that picklist values depend on the user roles. Users can only access the picklist values assigned to their role.
