About importing templates

You can import campaign project templates that you created prior to Unica Marketing Operations 8.0.0, but the templates are disabled. Users cannot use them to create projects.

Template import fails if the template archive contains any of the following:

A campaign project template created prior to Unica Marketing Operations 8.0.0 with the same name as a campaign project template already in the system

A campaign project template with the same name as a non-campaign project template already in the system (and vice versa)

A TCS form with the same name as a non-TCS form already in the system (or vice versa)

A shared attribute with the same name but a different data type as a shared attribute already in the system

Shared attributes used in forms in the template archive are created as shared attributes in the target system.

During import, you have the option of dropping tables. If existing objects (for example, projects) use those tables, dropping the tables deletes the information entered for those objects. For example, if you import a new version of a campaign project template that you have already used to create projects, and you drop the tables, you lose all the information you have entered in the TCS for every project created using that template.
