The user who created the campaign.

| Last Modified By |
The user who last made changes to the campaign. |

Editable settings and fields:
| Create History |
This check box is selected by default.
Clear this check box if you want to create a Campaign that does not add any history. For example, you want to create an all-customer notification or a test Campaign.
|
| Start |
The date that the Audience processing begins. Processing does not start if you start the Campaign before this date.
|
| End Sending |
This is the date on which the campaign will no longer implement any actions/creatives or carry out any element polling. The Campaign will still collect event information past the end sending date, however no actions are performed. For example, Recipients will not move between Elements. Events are collected until the End Campaign date. |
| End Campaign |
The date that all campaign activity will end. The default is midnight the day the Campaign was created. If the End Campaign date is blank, the campaign will continue to run perpetually until an end date is entered, or the campaign is cancelled.
|
| Description |
An optional field where you can add a description of the Campaign.
|
Where the Settings fit into a typical campaign design / flow
It is recommended that you make your changes to the Settings dialog box, in particular the campaign start and end dates, before you validate the campaign.
It is possible that you don't need to make any changes to the Settings, for example if you have created an 'Email Now' campaign to send a one-off email immediately.
