Understanding where your prospects, applicants, students and alumni come from is key to ensuring successful marketing initiatives. To that effect, FULL FABRIC allows you to track where your prospects, applicants or students are arriving from.

Sign up - the profile was created following a sign up on FULL FABRIC
​Staff - a staff user created the profile manually
​Import - the profile was imported
​Event response - the profile was created following a registration to an event
​Form submission - the profile was created following a form submission
​API - the profile was created via the API (where API integration is available)
