The optOutTest.jsp page displays a simple form with four “opt out” e-mail categories: Newsletter, Special Deals, Industry News and Quarterly Account Updates.

Like the previous example, opt-out forms use the /atg/userprofiling/ProfileFormHandler to update the user’s profile. However, in this case, the form handler updates the emailOptOuts profile property.

Note: The value setting of each dspel:input tag must match the actual file name of the corresponding opt-out segment. For more information about segment names, see the Creating Opt-in and Opt-out Segment Assets section.

<table width="456" border="0">

<tr>
  <td align="right"><dspel:input bean="ProfileFormHandler.value.emailOptOuts"
    type="checkbox" value="Newsletter_Opt_Out"/></td>
  <td valign="middle" align="left">Newsletter</td>
  <td align="right"><dspel:input bean="ProfileFormHandler.value.emailOptOuts"
    type="checkbox" value="Industry_News_Opt_Out"/></td>
  <td valign="middle" align="left">Industry News</td>
</tr>

<tr>
  <td align="right"><dspel:input bean="ProfileFormHandler.value.emailOptOuts"
    type="checkbox" value="Special_Deals"/></td>
  <td valign="middle" align="left">Special Deals</td>
  <td align="right"><dspel:input bean="ProfileFormHandler.value.emailOptOuts"
    type="checkbox" value="Account_Status_Opt_Out"/></td>
  <td valign="middle" align="left">Quarterly Account Updates</td>
</tr>

<tr>
  <td valign="middle" align="right"></td>
  <td><dspel:input bean="ProfileFormHandler.update" type="submit"
    value="Save Changes"/></td>
</tr>

</table>

If a user selects an e-mail opt-out category and submits the form, the ProfileFormHandler adds that category to the emailOptOuts property in her user profile.

Once your opt-out form is in place, create and deploy an opt-out segment for each e-mail category in the form. See Creating Opt-in and Opt-out Segment Assets for details.
