Previewing field values from your user data

You can use the Profile feature to preview field values when you configure a process in a flowchart. This feature allows you to see actual values from fields in your user data.

You can then select values to use in the current operation, for example to build a query for a Select process.

In addition to listing the values, the Profile feature also indicates each value's frequency of occurrence in the selected field. You can use this information to ensure that you are targeting the intended contacts.

You can profile any field that is available in any process where the Profile button appears. Examples include the Segment by Field list in the Segment process and the Available Fields or Candidate Fields lists in other process configuration dialogs. Only records in the current cell are included in the count, unless the counts were pre-computed.

Note: You must have the appropriate permissions to profile fields. Ask your system administrator if you have questions about your access to this feature. Also note that your administrator can prevent fields from being profiled. Campaign generates a warning if you try to profile a field that is also an audience. Profiling an audience can return many records and potentially impact performance.
