MICE has many input fields for processing event information and contact data. Are you still missing certain fields to enter specific information? It is possible to add your own fields to enter information. These custom fields (called "attributes") can be added as variables in quotes, documents and messages.
1. Add attributes
Go to Setup and then to Attributes (below the 'Settings' heading).
Click on '+ add new attribute'.
Select the object type to which your own field applies. The different object types are:
Events
Contacts
Organisations
Note that attributes should not be moved to another object type after they have been created. This can cause loss of data entered in the attribute's field.
Add the name of your attribute and a field type. You can choose from the following options:
Short text
Long text
Multiple choice (1 choice or multiple choices allowed)
Note that multiple choices allowed does not work in the widget (in case you linked an attribute to an extra field)Number
Currency
Date
Time
Date & time
Yes/No
2. Add to templates and messages
After adding the attribute, the name of the attribute is visible in the variable list of templates and messages.
3. Where to find back the attributes?
3.1 Events
The attributes of the object type 'events' are visible when creating an event and can be modified in the event information edit screen.
3.2 Organisations and contacts
The attributes of object types 'organisations' and 'contacts' can be fund below the address data (after clicking on the contact or organisation name)
