Subscription, frequency, delivery suspension, and tracking preferences set up
In this tab, you can decide which lists you want to show to your subscribers encouraging them to subscribe to others. The list you are in is the enabled one.
It allows you also to show a name and description, which can be different from the internal name and description for the lists used in the MailUp platform.
For example, you could use this section to promote content that your customers/recipients might not be aware of Daily offers, News, Most read blog news...
You can decide which lists you want to show to your subscribers by adding or removing them through the button Add/Remove lists. To enable other lists, remember to check the box of the list you want to add in the Preference Center.The first option in the Subscriptions tab is whether to show to your recipients the Frequency and Tracking sections. If you don't check either box, these sections won't be shown and you won't then be able to assign list permissions
laterFor each list, you can allow subscribers to:
- set a mailing frequency cap,
- temporarily pause a subscription (e.g. because they are on vacation).
Once logged in the Preference center, subscribers will see all the lists they can subscribe to:
Frequency tab
If you decide to show this menu to your recipients, they will be able to:
- set the maximum number of messages that they want to receive
- set a period of time during which they prefer not to receive any message (e.g. because they are on vacation)

This section allows you to insert a Profile Updates form in your Preference Center.
The default form has a look that especially matches the Preference Center look and feel. If you wish, you can edit a new form under Pages > Profile Updates.
Just like any other section in the Preference Center, you can choose whether to show this one to your recipients or not.
Social profile tab
Finally, you can configure the social profiles linked to the list.
Lists do not initially contain Social media accounts, so this section is not shown to your recipients. If you want this section to be shown to your contacts, all you need to do is add one or more accounts under Settings > List settings > Social media accounts, and then select at least one of them ("View").
This way, your social profiles are shown to your recipients, and they can click them to like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and view the LinkedIn profiles.
By enabling the statistical data tracking section you can also allow recipients to disable activity tracking for statistical purposes. Enabling the option, in all cases where disable tracking is requested, the campaign statistics will only be shown at the aggregate level and will not be visible as generated by the recipient.
The most option can be enabled for one or more lists.
