Custom fields are automatically assigned an Oracle CRM On Demand Marketing smart tag, which enables their use in templates, email messages, landing pages, and microsites. The syntax used for a new Program custom field smart tag is: ${Program.ProgramNewCustomFieldName__c}

• Any spaces are replaced with underscores (_).

• Characters are changed to all uppercase.

• The name is appended with two underscores and a lowercase c, as in: __c. For example, the custom field Event Date smart tag is: ${Program.EVENT_DATE__c}.

Custom fields can be edited or deleted by clicking the Edit or Delete icons. If you have created multiple custom fields you can sequence the new fields by clicking the Sequence button on the Program Custom Fields list screen and by rearranging the numerical values for each field.
