Creating fields for extra data

A list always contains your subscriber’s email address. If you want to include more data for your subscribers, such as a first and last name, you can first create extra fields for this. You can then use that data to personalise your newsletter.

Creating an extra field

1

Open the fields of your list

Go to Subscribers → Settings → Fields. The table shows the fields your list currently has.

2

Create a new field

Click ‘Add new field’ below the table.

3

Set the field properties

Set the six properties of the field:

Property	Meaning
Name of field	The name of the field in your list
Type	Text field, numeric field, date field, or multiple-choice field
In form	Whether the field appears on your subscribe form
In list	Whether the field is visible in the overview of your list
Required	Whether your subscriber is required to fill in the field
Default	The default value given to the field

You can change the order of the fields by dragging and dropping them in the overview.
