Description

Target Data Source

Location to which the output from this process is written. The Campaign Server and any other data sources to which you are connected are available from the Target Data Source drop-down list.

Candidate Fields

List of fields available to extract, including field name and data type, based on your input data source.

If your input source is a landing page in eMessage, each field name is an attribute of the landing page. If the attribute contains special characters or spaces, it is converted to a valid field name. Data types of all landing page attributes are listed as text.
Note: Schema object names are limited to 30 characters. Restrict your attribute names to 30 characters or less to produce valid column names for extracted output.

Fields to Extract

Fields that you selected to extract from the Candidate Fields list. The Output Name defaults to the field name in the Fields to Extract column.

Profile button

Opens the Profile Selected Field window, which calculates the values and distributions of records in the selected field. Active only when a field name is selected in the Candidate Fields list.

Derived Fields button

Opens the Create Derived Field window.

More button

Opens the Advanced Settings window, which includes the option to skip duplicate records and to specify how Campaign identifies duplicates.
