If your organization pre-defines targeted offers in a target cell spreadsheet, a
flowchart designer must then configure processes to select recipients for the offers. The designer
must link the flowchart cells with the predefined cells in the target cell spreadsheet. This
completes the association between the cells in the target cell spreadsheet and the recipients
defined in the flowchart.
Before you begin
Before you begin, someone in your organization must define target cells in a target cell
spreadsheet. Then the flowchart designer can follow the steps below to associate output cells in a
flowchart with the cells that were defined in the TCS®.
Note: An alternative method is to use Options > Match & link
target cells.
About this task
To associate flowchart cells with pre-defined cells in a target cell spreadsheet:
Procedure
-
In a flowchart in Edit mode, double-click the process whose output cell
you want to link to a cell in thetarget cell spreadsheet.
- Click the General tab in the process
configuration dialog.
-
To open the Select target cell dialog:
- In processes that output a single cell, such as Select, click Link to target
cell....
- In processes that output multiple cells, such as Segment, click the Output cell
name or Cell code row for each cell that you want to link. Click
the ellipsis button.
You see the Select target cCell dialog, which displays the cells that were
predefined in the target cell spreadsheet for the current campaign.
-
In the Select target cell dialog, select the row for the cell to which you
want to link the current output cell.
- Click OK.
The Select target cell dialog closes. The Output cell name and Cell code in
the process configuration dialog are replaced with the name and code from the target cell
spreadsheet. These fields are italicized to indicate that they are obtained from the
spreadsheet.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- Save the flowchart. Target cell linkages are not saved
in the database until you save the flowchart. If you cancel changes
in the flowchart, cell linkages are not saved.
