Overview
Contact Data Tables allows you to create and manage the secondary data tables used across MaxContact. Tables house custom data fields that are registered against leads in the database, and can be used across scripts, custom data fetching, list management rules, and more.
Fields can be created for any data you need to capture — such as date of birth, contact details, or contract expiry dates.
Note: This page was previously named Table Manager. It can be accessed via the Contact Data Tables tab on the main Settings page.
