Intro

The Fields Setup screen is where you can setup all the fields (aka data points) you'd like to associate with each contact in a given List. For example, First Name, Last Name, Gender, City, State, etc.

  • The Ongage system comes with one mandatory field "email" and several sample fields.
  • Out-of-the-box, your Ongage, account contains several additional list fields besides the email, provided as a sample, which you can choose to keep or remove based on your needs.
  • The only field that cannot be removed or renamed is the "email" field.
  • The number of fields allowed in your account is dependent on the Ongage package you purchased (see our pricing page for details). Speak to your account manager if you need more list fields.
