To add custom components to the Person Account layout, follow these steps:

1. Click your account name in the upper-right corner and select Setup.
2. Under App Setup in the navigation bar on the left, click the arrow next to Customize.
3. Click the arrow next to Accounts.
4. Click the arrow next to Person Accounts and select Page Layouts. The Person Account menu appears.
5. Click Page Layouts. The Person Account Page Layout workspace appears.
6. Click the Edit link next to the layout to edit. You can edit each Person Account Page Layout (Marketing, Sales and Support) individually. However, ExactTarget recommends that you edit the "generic" Person Account Layout.
   The Edit Page Layout screen appears.
7. Click-and-drag the Email Opt Out field from the Fields section to the Person Account Detail section.
8. Select Custom Links from the left navigation column in the Person Account Layout section.
   Send ExactTarget appears.
9. Click-and-drag Send ExactTarget from the Fields section to the Person Account Detail section.
10. Select Related Lists from the left navigation column in the Person Account Layout section.
11. Click-and-drag Individual Email Results from the Fields section to the Person Account Detail section. Reposition it in this section by moving it up or down, as desired.
12. Select Individual Email Results in the Related List section to define its appearance on the Person Account detail page.
13. Click the Edit Properties wrench icon on the Individual Email Results section.
    The Edit Related Lists: Individual Email Results page appears.

    To move a field from Available Fields to Selected Fields, select it on the left and click Add. ExactTarget recommends the order listed below. However, you may designate any of the available fields to display on the related list:
    • Email Name
    • Subject Line
    • Date Sent
    • Date Opened
    • Number of Total Clicks
15. Define the sort criteria for the Related List.
    

    NOTE: ExactTarget recommends that you sort by Date Sent in descending order.

16. Click OK.
17. Click Save.

How to Modify the Layout

You will need to modify the Person Account page layout in place of the contact Page Layout. Access the Person Account Layout by following the steps below:

1. Under App Setup in the left navigation column, click the arrow next to Customize.
2. Click the arrow next to Accounts
3. Click the arrow next to Person Accounts and select Page Layouts.

You can create page layouts to control the display of fields. Page layouts control the layout and organization of buttons, fields, s-controls, custom links, and related lists. They also help determine which fields are visible, read only, and required. Page layouts can include s-controls that run when a user clicks a custom link or button, or that are rendered within a field section when the page displays. You can create different page layouts for use by different profiles and record types and set field-level security settings to further restrict users' access to specific fields.

After you configure your Salesforce account, configure and map your ExactTarget account to it. By doing so, you create a current data repository to use for dynamic, relevant customer-specific emails and follow-up responses.
