There are two classifications of fields in Opta:

  • Basic Fields

  • Custom Fields

Here are the basic fields we offer:

  • Email

  • First

  • Last

  • DOB

  • Phone

  • Address

  • City

  • State

  • Zip

  • Gender

  • AffID

  • SubID

  • IP

  • User Agent

  • URL

  • Test (used for test leads)

If you need a different field for a value that we don't offer, you can add it as a custom field.

You can name the field, choose if it's required (rejected if missing), choose the field type, and if you need to, assign a "Super" which connects it with another existing field (Make, Year, Model, etc.).

By default, custom fields will be assigned the parameter "cq" with a number that follows. For example your first custom field for a campaign would be "cq1."

You can add default custom fields using our Global Fields tool, which also allows you to edit the parameter. This allows you to add a field to multiple campaigns at once, or to set default fields for all new campaigns created in Opta.

We offer several different field types:

  • Text box

  • Dropdown

  • Radio button

  • Check box

  • Text area

  • List box

  • Hidden

  • US States

  • Date Calendar

  • All Countries

  • Query string

  • Password

If you want to apply a filter based on a custom field, we recommend using a dropdown. This allows you to select specific dropdown values that are accepted or rejected.
