Questionable default field priorities

1. Why don't have people address fields by default: Zip Code, Street 2. Why do they have a Twitter / Linkedin field by default? What is this non-sensical priorization? Are people using this in real-world szenarios?

I removed the dafault data and attempted to run an import. I had to cancel the import because I cannot properly assign address data to "People" because the fields are not setup. But in every single people dialogue screen space is wasted on Social Media Nonsense. Pardon my frustration. I am 6h into this setup and very unimpressed.

What kind of import ? mail synching or csv import ? That's alright You will indeed need some prior metadata model configuration, if the default object and fields ( called standard ) are not fitting your needs The address field, which is a default field on company and people should fit your need

It doesn't make any sense to me to not provide people with an address field. How do you treat any freelancer when they are working under his/her own name? Are you setting a person up as a company? csv import. While trying to setup a the data model for People "Address" is not a valid field name even though I cannot use a predefined address field.

Address is a default field on people Please review your import configuration To map your entries to address field

There is no matching field when I look for address in the import though
