- Collaborate Reports

  Campaign flowcharts define the campaign logic. Each flowchart in a campaign performs a sequence of actions on data that is stored in your customer databases or flat files.
- List of processes
  - Data manipulation processes
    - The Audience process
      Audience levels define the target entity that you want to work with, such as account, customer, household, product, or business division. Use the Audience process in a flowchart to switch between audience levels or to filter out IDs by audience level.
    - The Extract process
      Use the Extract process to select fields from one table and write them out to another table for subsequent processing. The Extract process is designed to pare down a large amount of data to a manageable size for subsequent operations, resulting in vast performance improvements.
    - The Merge process
      Use the Merge process to specify which input cells are included and combined and which input cells are excluded (suppressed).
    - The Sample process
      Use the Sample process to divide contacts into groups. The classic use of sampling is to establish target and control groups that you can use to measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaign.
    - The Segment process
      Use the Segment process to divide data into distinct groups, or segments. Connect a Segment process to a contact process, such as a Call list or Mail list, to assign treatments or offers to the segments.
      - Segmenting by field
      - Segmenting by query
      - Using segments as input to another Segment process
        Segments can be used as input cells to another Segment process in a campaign flowchart. For example, you can segment by age range, then further segment by preferred channel.
      - Segmenting considerations
        Consider the following options and guidelines when you configure a Segment process in a campaign flowchart.
        Choosing a segmenting method
        You can segment by field or by query when you configure a Segment process in Campaign .
        Making segments mutually exclusive
        You can specify that segments are mutually exclusive, meaning that each qualifying record is guaranteed to be placed into no more than one segment. When the segments are assigned to offers, each customer will receive only one offer.
        Restricting segment size
        When you configure a Segment process, the default size for the number of records per segment is Unlimited. You may want to restrict the size of the created segment if, for example, you are performing test runs of a campaign flowchart or process.
        Selecting source cells
        When you configure a Segment process in a campaign flowchart, all selected cells must be defined at the same audience level. If more than one source cell is selected, the same segmentation is performed on each source cell.
      - Segmenting data by field
        You can use the Segment process to divide data into segments based on field values. When you segment data by a field in a database table, each distinct value in the field creates a separate segment.
      - Segmenting data with queries
        You can use the Segment process to segment data based on the results of a query that you create.
      - Segment process: Segment tab
        Use the Segment tab of the Segment process configuration dialog to indicate how to divide incoming data into distinct groups, or segments.
      - Segment process: Extract tab
        Use the Extract tab of the Segment process configuration dialog to select fields to extract. In this way, you allow the output from the Segment process to be accessible as input to Mail list or Call list processes in a flowchart.
      - Segment process: General tab
        Use the General tab of the Segment process configuration dialog to modify the Process name, Output cell name , or Cell code. You can also enter a Note to explain the purpose of the Segment process. The note appears when you rest your cursor over the process box in a flowchart.
      - Segment process: New segment and Edit segment controls
        The following table describes the controls on the New segment and Edit segment dialog boxes. You can access these dialog boxes when configuring a Segment process.
    - The Select process
      Use the Select process to select IDs from your marketing data, such as customers, accounts, or households that you intend to contact.
  - Run processes
  - Optimization processes
    Use the optimization processes to help determine a campaign's effectiveness and refine your marketing campaigns over time.
- About processes
- User variables
  Campaign supports user variables, which can be used during process configuration when creating queries and expressions.

Selecting source cells

When you configure a Segment process in a campaign flowchart, all selected cells must be defined at the same audience level. If more than one source cell is selected, the same segmentation is performed on each source cell.
