Creating a constant personalization field

When you create a constant personalization field it becomes available for all mailings in your Deliver installation.

About this task

The constant personalization field can appear in a mailing only when the mailing references a document that contains the constant personalization field. If the referenced document contains a constant personalization field, you define the value for the field when you configure the mailing.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Settings > Deliver Settings and click Display a list of all Personalization Fields.
  2. Click Page with plus sign imageAdd a Personalization Field

    The Create Constant Personalization window displays.

  3. In the Personalization Field Name field, you must enter a name for the constant personalization field.

    For easier management of personalization fields, Unica recommends that you establish a consistent naming convention for constant personalization fields. For example, const_<name>.

    Important: Do not use spaces in the name of constant personalization fields. Spaces in the name of a constant personalization field added to a landing page can cause problems when previewing the landing page.
  4. Optionally, enter a description and sample data for the constant personalization field.

    The sample data that you enter here displays when you preview documents that contain the field. The data does not appear in email and landing pages that are transmitted during a mailing.

  5. Save your changes.

What to do next

To use the constant personalization field, you must add it to an Deliver document. When you reference the document in a mailing, you can edit the mailing configuration to define a static text value for the constant personalization field.
