About the sysmodules.xml file

The sysmodules.xml file defines items and modules. Items determine the wording on screens and modules determine the wording on menus. Each object type in Unica Marketing Operations has two items and one module defined in the sysmodules.xml file.

For example, project has the following two items and one module:

<item id="project">Project</item>
<item id="projects">Projects</item>
<module id="projects">
<display>Projects</display>
<description>Projects Module</description>
<helptip>Projects</helptip>
<link>uapprojectservlet?cat=projectlist</link>
<helpfile>plan.htm</helpfile>
</module>

The sysmodules.xml file is located in the /conf/<locale> folder under your Unica Marketing Operations installation, where <locale> is the default locale for your installation.

If you want to rename an object or add a menu item that links to a URL, you must edit the sysmodules.xml file.

When you create a marketing object type, Unica Marketing Operations automatically adds a module for the new type to the sysmodules.xml file.
