|
Use the Fulfillment tab to specify what input is used to build the contact list and to specify whether output is generated to a list or table.
|
a.
|
|
The Multiple Cells option is available only if the input process generates multiple cells or if there are more processes that are feeding into the contact process.
|
b.
|
The Enable Export To check box is selected by default. To export your list data to a table or file, leave Enable Export To checked, then use the appropriate options:
|
|
To write the output to a database table, select a table from the Enable Export To list.
|
|
If the database table that you want to use is not in the list, or if you want to write the output to an unmapped table, select Database Table. Use the Specify Database table dialog to indicate the table and database name. User variables are supported in the table name that you specify.
|
|
To write the output to a file, select File from the Enable Export To list, then provide a file name and other details. You can write to a file to test the output of the contact process. After you run the process, review the file to confirm that the results are what you expect.
|
|
To create a user table, select New Mapped Table from the Enable Export To list. For instructions, see the Campaign Administrator's Guide.
|
c.
|
If you only want to write to contact history, and you do not want to generate output to a table or file, clear the Enable Export To option. (Use the Log tab, explained later in these steps, to specify how to log to the Contact History tables.)
|
d.
|
(Optional) Summary File: Enter a path and file name in the Summary File field, or navigate to a location by clicking the ellipsis button. A summary file is a text file with the extension .sum. This file contains information about the contents of the list. Typically, you include this file with the list when you send it to the fulfillment center. A summary file is generated only if you select the Enable Export To option.
|
e.
|
(Optional) To send a trigger when the process finishes running, select the Send Trigger(s) option, and choose the trigger that you want to send. To send multiple triggers, use Ctrl+Click to select more than one trigger. The selected triggers are listed in the Send Trigger(s) field, and they are separated by commas.
|
7.
|
a.
|
Click the Offer field next to the cell, then select an offer. To assign offers to multiple cells, select all rows to which you want to assign offers, then click Assign Offers.
|
b.
|
If you want to exclude some IDs from the contact list, select Use Holdout Control Groups, then change the Control? field to Y for each cell that you want to use as a control. Those cells appear in the Control Cell list and cannot be assigned offers.
|
8.
|
Use the Parameters tab if your organization is using parameterized offers. For example, an offer might be parameterized with values of 10% and 20%. The Parameters tab shows the values for each offer that was assigned on the Treatment tab. If there are no parameterized offers, you can skip this tab.
|
a.
|
b.
|
Click in the Assigned Value field (or select a row in the table and click Assign Value), then select or type a value to assign to the parameter. You can use constants, derived fields, or table fields as values. For example, you can use a derived field to produce values that can be assigned to offer attributes.
|
9.
|
Use the Personalization tab to specify which fields to write out to the contact list. For example, if you are building a mailing list, include contact names and addresses.
|
|
If you selected a table on the Fulfillment tab, the Export Field list includes all of the fields from that table. You must map each data field to a corresponding table column. To automatically find matching fields, click Match. Fields with exact matches for the table field names are automatically added to the list. If there are multiple matching fields, the first match is taken.
|
|
When you select Candidate Fields, you can click the arrow next to an item to expand it. For example, you can expand the IBM® Campaign Generated Fields list, then select Treatment Code. By including the Treatment Code in your output, you can use it to track responses. Direct Response tracking requires customers to provide the same code when they respond to the offer (for example, by using a coupon). Use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple fields.
|
|
|
10.
|
To sort the output and specify how to handle duplicate IDs in the list, click More on the Personalization tab.
|
a.
|
Decide whether your list will include or omit duplicate IDs. For example, if your Audience ID is Household, there might be duplicate Audience IDs for each person in that household. You may or may not want each person included in the list. To omit duplicate IDs, choose Skip Records with Duplicate IDs, and specify which record to retain if duplicate IDs are returned. For example, to keep only the family member with the highest household income, select MaxOf and Household_Income.
|
b.
|
To sort the output, use the Order By options. For example, to sort by surname in reverse order, select the Last_Name field and Descending.
|
c.
|
11.
|
a.
|
b.
|
(Optional) To store contact information in another location, in addition to or instead of the contact history tables, check Log into Other Destination. This option is useful if your organization requires further processing of the information in another format, or if you want to examine the output before you update contact history.
|
12.
|
a.
|
b.
|
Use Log to to select a destination table or file. If you select File, define the output file name and parameters.
|
|
Append to Existing Data: Add the new contact information to the end of the table or file. Appending data is a safe choice for database tables because it preserves existing data. If you select this option for a delimited file, labels are not exported as the first row.
|
|
Replace All Records: Remove any existing data from the table or file, and replace it with the new contact information.
|
13.
|
To customize the information that gets written to contact history, click More Options on the Log tab.
|
a.
|
To avoid updating contact history when this process runs, select Create Treatments Only.
|
b.
|
c.
|
Use the Tracking Audience Level to determine which audience level is written to contact history.
|
|
The contact process removes duplicate records based on the Audience level of the input process. Changing the Tracking Audience Level does not affect how records are de-duped. For example, say the input process for a Maillist process uses Audience level 1. However, you want to log records to contact history at Audience level 2. In this case, you must configure an Audience process to change the audience level. Then connect the Audience process as input to the contact process. Now you can select a Tracking Audience Level of 2.
|
d.
|
Use the Contact Date field to specify when to contact the people in the contact list. If you do not specify a date, Campaign uses the flowchart run date.
|
e.
|
Use the Contact Status Code list to specify a status code for tracking.
|
f.
|
g.
|
14.
|
|
Clear History permanently deletes contact and response history records from the system tables. This data is not recoverable.
