About audience level administration
Unica Campaign is delivered with a single audience level called Customer. You can define any additional audience levels that you need. Audience levels let flowchart designers target specific groups, such as Households, in marketing campaigns.
Removing an audience level
When you remove an audience level, the system tables are removed, but the underlying database tables remain. Therefore, if you remove an audience level, any processes and flowcharts depending on that audience level (that is, that attempt to write to the audience level tables) will generate errors.

Removing an audience level

When you remove an audience level, the system tables are removed, but the underlying database tables remain. Therefore, if you remove an audience level, any processes and flowcharts depending on that audience level (that is, that attempt to write to the audience level tables) will generate errors.

Important: Do not remove an audience level that has been used within Unica Campaign, as this will result in significant system problems, as described below.

Important: Before removing an audience level, recommends backing up the entire Unica Campaign system so that you can recover the current system state if you encounter problems following the removal.

It is possible to restore a deleted audience level by creating a "new" audience level of the same name, with tables containing the same required fields, and remapping the audience level tables.
