11. Select the ‘Settings’ option within the UTA that you wish to create the contact from.
 
 
 
 
 
12. You will require [[Custom Fields]] to hold information on the ‘Contact’ you wish to create (e.g. First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, etc).  If these are not already present then these must be created.
 
 
 
 
 
13. Create a [[Custom Field Type: Read Only – System Variables]]. This is the field that will act as you button or link to create the contact on the system. Therefore it should be named appropriately (e.g. “Create Contact”).
 
 
 
 
 
14. In the Variables section paste in the following HTML tags . . .

*  the correct URL for the sign-up page in the SmartFolder,
 
*  the correct parameter names as used in step 6
 
*  the correct custom field ids for the corresponding contact information as defined in step 11.
