Description

Tabs

Individual screens for the object (project, plan, etc.) Tabs contain one or more forms. Use the New Tabs tab of a template to create and edit tabs and organize the forms on them.

Form

Sub-section of a tab, containing attributes.

A form is an organized collection of data. You can use custom forms across object templates, for example, for both project and program templates. When assembling templates, you can build rules to show and hide forms to streamline data and make the template easier to use.

Attribute

Data element contained within a form. Each attribute has a specific format. See Attribute types for more information. You can group attributes and display them in either a 1- or 2-column layout on the form.

Data mapping

Unica Campaign metrics mapped to Unica Marketing Operations metrics for tracking and roll-up purposes if integration is enabled. Use an XML editor to create data mappings.

Icons

Small images representing the object within the Unica Marketing Operations GUI. Use image editing software to create and edit icons.

Metrics

Set of metrics appearing on the object’s tracking tab, such as tracking and performance measurements. Use the Metrics Editor for creating and editing metrics.

Attachments

Files or folders appearing on the Attachment tab of the object. You can specify default attachments that appear in all objects created from the template.

Custom links

Hypertext links appearing on selected tabs. You can add custom links to external pages and programs.

Workflow (project templates only)

The set of stages and tasks appearing in the project’s workflow tab.

Click Edit to modify the workflow. Use the Template Configuration section in the Administrative Settings to create workflow templates.

Here is a graphical representation of the components of a template.

Once these components are defined and available, you can assemble them into a templates.
