Ontraport Systems is a tool you can use to create, maintain and organize the marketing and business assets in your account.
Think of the systems as folders in your account where you can store all of your related assets so you can stay organized, make quick edits and get an overview of your system’s performance.
Enable/disable Ontraport Systems
Ontraport Systems are an optional organizational tool for your account, and if you’d like to disable this feature your account will continue to function normally.
- Go to → Administration → Advanced features.
- Toggle on/off Systems.
