# C reating Campaign Custom Fields

The Campaign Custom Fields section enables you to create additional fields to capture and store descriptive information for a campaign in addition to the information entered in standard campaign fields.

When you create a custom field it appears in the campaign header for each new campaign you create. Custom fields are automatically assigned a smart tag, which enables their use in templates, email messages, landing pages, and microsites. The syntax used for a campaign custom field smart tag is:

${Campaign.CampaignNewCustomFieldName__c}

- Spaces are replaced with underscores (_).

- Characters are changed to all uppercase.

- The name is appended with two underscores and lowercase c, for example: __c.

For example, for the custom field Fiscal Year, its smart tag is ${Campaign.FISCAL_YEAR__c}. For more information on smart (insertion) tags, see About Email and Sales Representative Personalization.

1. Click Admin in the upper-right corner of the screen.

2. In the Field Management section, click Campaign Custom Fields.

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 Campaign custom field smart tag is: ${Campaign.CampaignNewCustomFieldName__c}
