Image Manager | Image Properties |
The Image Manager allows you to upload images, which are saved locally in the system. Once an image is uploaded it will show up on the Browse Files tab.

To personalize your email message insert dynamic fields. Dynamic fields retrieve any information (personal info, preferences, e-commerce data) stored on your list.

To edit the default value of the dynamic tagsfields, click on Dyn. fields.
