Administrator Guides
- Administrator Guide
  - Unica Platform features
    Unica Platform provides security, configuration, notification, and dashboard features for Unica products.
    - About Unica Platform security features
      The security features in Unica Platform consist of a central repository and web-based interface where Unica internal users are defined and where users are assigned various levels of access to functions within Unica applications.
    - Configuration management
      The Configuration page provides access to the central configuration properties for Unica applications.
    - Localization in HCL Unica
      Unica Platform supports localization through its character set encoding and by enabling an administrator to set locale preferences for individual users or all users. Users can also set their own locale preferences.
    - The common user interface
      Unica Platform provides a common access point and user interface for Unica applications.
    - Logging in to HCL Unica
      Use this procedure to log in to Unica.
    - Unica Platform documentation and help
      Unica Platform provides documentation and help for users, administrators, and developers.
  - HCL Unica user account management
    You can manage the attributes of user accounts created using Unica Platform user interface, which we refer to as internal accounts. This is in contrast to external user accounts, which are imported from an external system such as an LDAP server or web access control system.
  - Security management
    Unica Platform supports roles and permissions to control user access to objects and features in Unica applications.
  - Configuration management
    When Unica is first installed, the Configuration page shows only the properties used to configure Unica Platform and some global configuration properties. When you install additional Unica applications, the properties used to configure these applications are registered with Unica Platform. These properties are then shown on the Configuration page, where you can set or modify their values.
  - Dashboard management
    Dashboards are configurable pages that contain information useful to groups of users who fill various roles within your company. The components that make up dashboards are called portlets. Dashboards can contain pre-defined portlets or portlets that you create.
  - The HCL Unica Scheduler
    The Unica Scheduler enables you to configure a process to run at intervals that you define.
  - SAML 2.0 based federated authentication
    Unica Platform implements a SAML 2.0 based Identity Provider (IdP) that enables a single sign-on federation among Unica products or between Unica products and third party applications.
  - SAML 2.0 single sign-on
    Unica Platform supports SAML 2.0 based single sign-on.
  - Configuring JWT authentication between applications
    JSON web token (JWT) authentication is used for Journey Designer+Unica Campaign. JWT authentication allows single sign-on between applications.
  - Single sign-on between HCL Unica and IBM Digital Analytics
    If your organization uses IBM Digital Analytics, you can enable single sign-on between Digital Analytics and Unica.
  - Integration between HCL Unica and Windows Active Directory
    Unica Platform can be configured to integrate with Windows™ Active Directory server or another LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. By integrating Unica with a directory server, you can maintain users and groups in one centralized location. Integration provides a flexible model for extending the enterprise authorization policies into Unica applications. Integration reduces support costs and the time needed to deploy an application in production.

  - Two ways to create data filters: automatic generation and manual specification
    Unica Platform provides a utility, datafilteringScriptTool, that processes XML to create the data filters in the Unica Platform system tables. Depending on how you write the XML, you can use this utility in two ways: automatic generation and manual specification.
  - datafilteringScriptTool
    The datafilteringScriptTool utility reads an XML file to populate the data filtering tables in the Unica Platform system table database.
  - ManagerSchema_PurgeDataFiltering.sql
    The ManagerSchema_PurgeDataFiltering.sql script removes all data filtering data from the Unica Platform system tables without removing the data filter tables themselves. This script removes all data filters, data filter configurations, audiences, and data filter assignments from Unica Platform.
  - Populating the data filter system tables
    Run the datafilteringScriptTool utility, which uses your XML to populate the data filter system tables.
  - Creating the XML to specify data filters
    Create the XML file that specifies the customer data used as criteria in each data filter. In the next step you will run a utility that populates the system tables with these specifications.
  - Data filter XML reference
    This section describes the XML elements for which you must provide values.
  - Example: Manually specifying data filters
    Jim needs to create a set of data filters based on sales territories.
  - Example: Automatically generating a set of data filters
    Jim needs to create a set of data filters based on countries, cities, and states.
  - Setting required data filter configuration properties

  - Optional configuration property to improve data filter performance
    You can turn the data filter cache on for better performance.
  - HCL Unica | General | Data filtering
    Properties in this category specify values used when data filtering is implemented.
  - Two ways to assign users and groups: in the user interface and in the XML
    You have two options for assigning users and groups to data filters: through the user interface or in the XML you use to create the data filters. Assigning users in the XML is a useful method when you have many users, each of whom requires a separate filter.
  - Assigning users and groups to data filters
    If you do not assign users or groups within the XML that you create, use the Unica data filter user interface to perform searches for users, groups, and data filters and then select items from the search results and assign them.
  - About assigning users and groups in the XML
    You can assign users or groups to data filters in the XML, as an alternative to doing this through the user interface. Assigning users and groups to data filters in the XML is available only when you use manual specification to create the data filters.
  - About assigning user and groups though the user interface
    You can assign users and groups to data filters on the Settings > Data filters pages.
  - Optional configuration property to improve data filter performance
    You can turn the data filter cache on for better performance.
