Purpose of the Field Contains Cloud Decision

There are situations where you might need to know if a field-value is contained within another field. This simple operation in Eloqua is not possible with out of the box features. This is where this Cloud Decision comes into play. With Field Contained you can indicate the contact fields to check if one field-value is contained within another field.

This document will show how this Cloud Decision can be used inside Campaign Canvas.
