Fields are used to store different data points within Fireside. For example: fields are used to store information uploaded from an import or entered on a survey submission. You can see the field values for an individual person by going to their profile then clicking the edit button under 'Profile Summary' in the right hand sidebar. Fields can then be used to create audience to send targeted emails. 

Please Note: The Following Fields Are Standard to Every Fireside Account

- First Name

- Middle Name

- Last Name

- Home/Business/Other Address

- Home/Cell/Business/Other Phone

In your list of data fields, standard data fields will be grey, custom data fields will be bold
