Add customer fields to overlays

You can include customer-related fields to your website overlays to collect further information:

Select + Add a customer field and choose from the following default fields:

• Gender
• Date of birth

Or any of your custom fields for contacts. 

Text fields

Select the Text field option to give your leads a free text field, where they can enter whatever answer they like:

Dropdown fields

Select the Dropdown field option to provide a set of predefined choices for your leads to select.

You can add as many Answer choices as you like to the dropdown:

Radio button fields

Select the Radio buttons field option to show all of your predefined choices at once. Your leads can pick one answer.

Radio buttons work best for a short list of choices, e.g. skin type or preferred store. If you have a long list of choices, use a dropdown field instead.

Enter a Label for the field. This is the question your site visitors see above the choices.

Use Text colour and Radio button colour to match the field to the rest of your overlay.

Add your Answer choices:

Select + to add another choice, or the bin icon to remove one. Drag the handle on the left of a choice to change the order your leads see them in.

Hidden fields

Hidden field options don't display in the overlay; your leads won't see them.

Ometria still receives data for these fields.

You might want to use this field to update a lead's preferred store, e.g. UK, US, Germany, etc. You can use this data to segment your contacts and personalise future campaigns.

Enter the value you want to collect. E.g. if this overlay version is for your UK store site, enter "UK store".

Any contact who completes this overlay version will have "UK store" assigned to that custom field in their profile. 

Date fields

When you select a date field you can choose the format you prefer from the Date format dropdown:

Gender

Ometria's default gender field only accepts M/F/O or male, female, and other. 

To collect more diverse gender identities you'll need to create a custom field. 

Update the Answer choices section to edit the options your sign-ups will see:

Round corners

If you prefer your customer fields to have rounded corners, you can enter a pixel value in the Round corners field. This sets the curvature radius.

0 px is the default, producing square corners:
