Known Issues

The following list provides detailed information on the limitations and known issues associated with this software release. While Alterian consider it important to highlight these issues, they were not deemed serious enough to delay release. These issues will be prioritized for resolution in a future release of Campaign Manager.

Campaign Manager

  • Repeatedly saving templates based on other templates can cause an application crash and should be avoided. Best practice is to only ever save a new document as a template.

Campaign Designer

  • If repeatedly using document transfer to transfer new Campaign Designer campaigns that contain Master Segments in their audience, only the campaigns in the first export will reference the Master Segment. To resolve this, the Master Segment will need to be re-selected in the Audience.
  • Connectors overlap when a negative and positive from an Event connection, return to the same element.
  • Performance of the Set variable element is slow in IE when using 20+ variables.
  • Campaigns with a high volume of If Branch (10+) elements that all contain segments, may be slow to open and validate.

Campaign View

  • Next Touch Date is showing the wrong time after day light savings has been applied.

Engine ROW LEVEL SECURITY

  • Systems utilizing Engine row level security may experience overall performance degradation when performing queries against the database. Any issues should be reported to Alterian Support using the link below .
