Marketing object definition files

When you create a marketing object type, Unica Marketing Operations creates four XML files that define the marketing object type.

mo_< modulename >_list.xml

mo_< modulename >_map.xml

mo_< modulename >_state.xml

mo_< modulename >_ui.xml

where modulename is the lowercase version of the name you specified in the Marketing Object Type Module Name field when you created the marketing object type.

The following table describes the marketing object file types.

File type	Description
List	Defines the standard attributes to be shown in the object list. Also, you can change the labels for these standard attributes as well as links in the list page.
Map	Defines the standard attributes to be shown on the marketing object’s Summary tab. You can also change the labels of these attributes.
State	Defines the state transitions for the object. The complete set of states for all marketing objects in your system is defined in the globalstates.xml file. If you add any new states, you must define them in that file.
UI	Contains the definition for how the marketing object’s actions appear on tabs, menus, columns, and so on.

The marketing object definition files are stored in the <Plan_Home>\conf\<locale> directory.

Do not remove any of the marketing object definition files. If you do so, you cannot start your web server or use Unica Marketing Operations.
