How to create custom fields?

Alejandra Vasquez Mendez

MDirector recognizes the most commonly used fields in a database. Thus allowing you to import subscribers without having to previously create parameters to read them.

The predefined fields for MDirector are: 

  • ID
  • Name
  • Last name1
  • Email
  • Mobile
  • Date of birth (Format dd/mm/yyyy)*
  • Gender (Format: M, F)
  • Reference
  • Zip Code
  • State
  • City
  • Country

The Country, Province and Gender fields are listed fields that allow only certain values which are indicated in the following article: https://mdtr.io/2ziFl 

To add new fields within the contacts, you must add them from the "Custom Fields" section in "Settings".


If your database contains other fields that are not recognized by MDirector, you can add them in the following way:

 

1. In the left side menu, in the “Email/SMS Marketing” section, click on “Settings” and select the “Custom Fields” tab

 

 

3. Add a new "Custom Field" of numeric, Multi-list or text type, (To add Alpha-numeric content, you must choose "Text" type).

 

 

  • You can also add custom fields such as date or multilist**.

 

* The required format of the data to be imported for date fields, both custom and standard, must be one of the following:

dd/mm/yyyy
dd-mm-yyyy
yyyy-mm-dd
yyyy/mm/dd

 

After the date, the time can optionally be placed after the date in the following format hh:mm:ss

 

** The fields defined as multilist need, in addition to the name and type, a set of values, which are the only ones that can be taken by each contact that field, or one or more.

 

Add values manually or by copying and pasting from a file taking into account that values defined within this type of fields cannot contain ";".

  • The values of a multilist can be edited or deleted:

The data to be imported in multi-list fields must match exactly the values defined within the field. To separate them within the csv or excel to be imported, it is necessary to use ";".
