You can create as many campaign project templates as you want. For example, you might want to create a separate campaign project template for each type of campaign that you run.
Design your campaign project templates, forms, and attributes
Before you begin creating objects in Unica Plan, you plan and design your campaign project templates and the forms and attributes they require.

Integration guides
- Unica Campaign and Acoustic Campaign Integration Guide for IBM Marketing Cloud
- Unica Plan and Unica Campaign Integration Guide
  - Introduction to the integration
    Unica Plan and Unica Campaign to use the marketing resource management features of Unica Plan to create, plan, and approve campaigns.
  - Unica Campaign project template design
    You can create as many campaign project templates as you want. For example, you might want to create a separate campaign project template for each type of campaign that you run.
    - Design your campaign project templates, forms, and attributes
      Before you begin creating objects in Unica Plan, you plan and design your campaign project templates and the forms and attributes they require.
      - Target Cell Spreadsheet and other forms
        By default, projects have the following tabs: Summary, People, Workflow, Tracking, Attachments, and Analysis. If the Financial Management module is installed, projects also have a Budget tab.
      - Designing offer templates
        If offer integration is enabled, you can create offer templates in Unica Plan to guide users in creating offers. To work with offer templates, you design the templates first and then create the custom offer attributes and forms that are used to build them.
      - Designing attributes
        Each item of information that users can enter for a project has a corresponding attribute on a tab in the template.
    - Creating and enabling a shared attribute
      You can create and enable a shared attribute by using Unica Plan shared attributes function.
    - Creating a Flowchart approval
      You can create a Flowchart approval by following these steps.
    - Creating a Target Cell Spreadsheet
      You can create a Target Cell Spreadsheet by following these steps.
    - Share Unica Campaign contact and response data with Unica Plan
      To enable users to import contact and response counts into Unica Plan, you must map the contact count and the response types to Unica Plan metrics.
    - Unica Campaign project templates
      If Unica Plan is integrated with Unica Campaign, campaign project templates guide users in creating a campaign project. Campaign projects integrate the planning and project management features of Unica Plan with the campaign development features of Unica Campaign.
    - Unica Plan and Unica Campaign Integration reports package
      The Unica Plan and Unica Campaign Integration Reports Package contains several IBM® Cognos® reports that query and display information from both the Unica Campaign system tables and the Unica Plan system tables.
  - Creating a campaign in an integrated environment
    The workflow for creating a campaign when Unica Plan and Unica Campaign are integrated consists of the following tasks.
  - Offers and offer templates in an integrated system
    If offer integration is enabled, you create offers in Unica Plan, then publish them for use in Unica Campaign. You can set up offers before they are assigned to cells in Unica Campaign. Offers are based on templates, which are also created in Unica Plan.
  - Creating a Target Cell Spreadsheet
    You can create a Target Cell Spreadsheet by following these steps.
  - Assigning offers and offer lists to cells when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated environment, use Unica Plan to assign offers and offer lists to output cells in a Target Cell Spreadsheet (TCS®). The TCS is a part of each campaign project in Unica Plan.
  - Disable and re-enable integration
    Although it is possible to disable integration after you enable it, it is best to avoid this action if possible.
  - Configuring property settings for integrated deployment
    When Unica Plan and Unica Campaign are integrated, you use Unica Plan to plan, create, and approve campaigns.
  - The Target Cell Spreadsheet
    You define all of the target and control cells for your campaign and assign offers in the Target Cell Spreadsheet. Your TCS® must contain all cell definitions for your entire campaign.
  - Creating offers in an integrated system
    When offer integration is enabled, you create offer templates and offers in Unica Plan and publish the offers for use in Unica Campaign.
  - Managing offers when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated system, you access offers from the Operations menu instead of the Unica Campaign menu. You can then complete tasks as you would in an unintegrated Unica Campaign system.
  - Managing offer templates and attributes when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated system, you access offer templates from Unica Plan Settings instead of Campaign Settings.
  - Assigning offers and offer lists to cells when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated environment, use Unica Plan to assign offers and offer lists to output cells in a Target Cell Spreadsheet (TCS®). The TCS is a part of each campaign project in Unica Plan.
  - Publishing the TCS®
    To make the cell definitions and offer assignments in the TCS® available to Unica Campaign, you must publish the TCS. Anytime you make updates to data in the TCS, you must publish the TCS again to make those changes visible to Unica Campaign.

Design your campaign project templates, forms, and attributes

Before you begin creating objects in Unica Plan, you plan and design your campaign project templates and the forms and attributes they require.

The result of the design process is a list of attributes and forms to create and details about them, such as:

Whether an attribute is suited for use on multiple forms (shared) or on a single form (local)
Whether users select from data that is supplied by a table, a list of items you define, or enter text directly for an attribute
What constraints are needed on the user interface field, and whether an offer attribute must be parameterized (editable) when added to a form, or set to static or hidden static

Campaign attributes and cell attributes must be shared attributes. Form and grid attributes can be either shared or local.
