Manage fields

  • Updated

Fields let you manage metadata in your Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) instance.

CMP merged labels and custom fields into one category called fields. The Additional information tray in tasks was also deprecated.

Add Fields

The Fields tab lets you make field type changes and add fields to templates and workflows.

  3. You can mark fields as mandatory on task creation or completion by clicking the options menu (...) next to the field.

  4. You can drag and drop fields into any order.

Workflows can have preselected field values that display for workflow-created tasks.

Rigid workflows can have additional requirements, such as adding the edit fields action to a step.

Automate metadata

Fields coming from a brief or a campaign automatically carry over to the Fields tab. If there is a task workflow with fields defined in settings, only those fields inherit the values from brief or campaign. See Fields and inheritance.
