Next, click the Manage Fields button:



This will take you to the Manage Contact Fields page where you can create, update, and delete your contact fields. You can also see which contact fields are "[featured](/en/article/what-is-a-featured-contact-field-10ii68c/)", and where they are being used within your account.

This allows you to easily view and edit your contact fields based on whether they are text, date & time, or numeric. 

Create a New Field



You can create new contact fields via the Manage Contact Fields page or within a flow using the Update the Contact action. 

Manually

First, click the Create Field button on the Manage Contact Fields page:



Then, give your field a name, select the field type, and choose whether you'd like it to be "[featured](/en/article/what-is-a-featured-contact-field-10ii68c/)" on your contact's page or not:

Within a Flow

To create a new contact field in a flow, you must add an '[Update the Contact](/en/article/adding-and-updating-a-contact-field-3hcr72/)' action:



Then create the new field name and the the variable using @results.[variable_name].



Click "**Ok"** and you'll see that the new contact field will be updated in the flow:



You can then go into your Manage Contact Fields page to view that new contact field, its corresponding variable, field type, and where it's being used
