  • Once a field is created and data is uploaded to the field, it cannot be removed from your DataMart. 
    • If you have created a field you no longer need and have not uploaded data to it, please contact CONNECT Support to have it removed.
    • If you have a field you no longer need and data has been uploaded to it, we recommend either renaming it with "DONOTUSE" in front of it or if you have a need for a new field, rename it to the new field name and upload a list of data to overwrite all contact values for it.
