Changing the seed for random selection

The random seed represents the starting point that Campaign uses to select records randomly. If you are selecting records randomly, you might want to change the random seed in situations such as the following:

  • You have the same number of records in the same sequence, and using the same seed value each time you run this process results in records being created into the same samples.
  • Your current random sample produces highly skewed results (for example, if all males in your data fall into one group and all females into another).
