  What is a field?
  Fields are used as placeholders for data from your Mailing List which will appear on your printed cards and envelopes if you choose to use the mailing list option.
   
  How do they work?
  Information which you enter for a contact is held in various categories. One or more of these categories is formed into a field such as <FRIENDLYNAME> or <ADDRESSBLOCK>
   
 
   
  Examples of the fields we use are shown below:

  When the mailing list is turned on, fields such as <FRIENDLYNAME> will appear on your designs to show where the data from your mailing list will be printed. Once you finalise your mailing list, data is merged into your design and appears on your cards and envelopes. You can preview your cards and envelopes with the data from your mailing list before you initial your design for approval.

  Can I change the fields which will appear on my cards?
   
 
TIPS & TRICKS
  You can change the fields (and therefore the information) which will be appear on your cards. You just need to EDIT your design and change the field where you are asked to Customise your text, then press UPDATE.

For example if you wish invitations to be addressed more formally (e.g. Mr John Smith instead of John), you need to change the field selected from <FRIENDLYNAME> to <FORMALNAME>
   
  If you want to Edit the way a Formal Name or Friendly Name appears on your card, , so it is different to the one held in the Contacts file, (e.g. Johnny instead of John), you can use the Mailing List Advanced Features.
