Data display

In this section you can specify how the email address data will be displayed in the overview of all records. Use a table with three columns:

• The first column – contains all email address data, along with the characteristics specified in the database structure section.
• The second column – allows you to decide which features you want to see in the overview of all. Check the appropriate boxes to display the features.
• The third column – determines how many characters should be displayed for each feature. You can abbreviate the names to maintain readability.

In this section, you can also set the number of addresses displayed on one page and decide whether subscribers can see certain features in the profile edit for each module, such as data edit, group edit and email type. This will allow subscribers to access relevant information and make profile editing easier.

To complete the data display settings, click Save.
