  - Before you begin working with contact history
    Contact history is stored in the Unica Campaign system database in separate tables by audience level. Therefore, you need to set up audience levels before you begin working with contact history.
  - Response history administration
    Before you begin working with response history, you should read the audience level administration topics and set up required audience levels.
  - Monitoring and controlling flowchart runs
    Choose Campaign > Monitoring and use the All monitored runs page to view the status of all active flowcharts and suspend, resume, or stop flowchart runs.

Auto-save (during user configuration)

The Auto-save (during user configuration) option under Admin > Advanced settings automatically saves an individual flowchart at the specified intervals. Use this option to override the global configuration setting Campaign|partitions|partition[n]|server|flowchartSave|autosaveFrequency.

You can set the auto-save feature to automatically save your work periodically for recovery purposes. If the Unica Campaign server process (unica_acsvr) terminates while you are editing a flowchart, when you re-open the flowchart you will see the last auto-saved version of the flowchart.

Note: You must have previously saved the current flowchart (provided a file name) for this feature to work.

You can specify a number of minutes to control how often the flowchart will be saved. For example, if you enter 5, the flowchart is saved every 5 minutes. T

Unica Campaign stores auto-save files in a temporary directory (CAMPAIGN_HOME\partitions\partitionN\tmp), with the extension .asf, so that the original flowchart files are not changed. When you manually save and exit the flowchart, the .asf file is deleted and the flowchart is saved as a .ses file.

In non-recovery situations (for example, if you manually exit flowchart Edit mode without saving your flowchart), auto-saved versions are not retrieved. In this situation, when you re-open a flowchart that you manually left without saving, you will see the last manually saved version.

Auto-save never saves flowcharts that are in a paused state, even if Auto-save occurs while a selected process is running.

The default setting for Auto-save is Never.
