define Columns and SEED data per campaign key

To start the process of creating a Seed data table, a campaign key must be selected. Each campaign key will likely have different column templates for holding the standard seed data and this is supported by the requirement to set up Seed data relating specifically to a campaign key.

Simply select the required campaign key from the drop-down option at the top left of the screen. This drop-down will display all campaign keys the currently logged in user has access to. Campaign keys must be configured prior to constructing the Seed data.

Once a campaign key is selected, the Seed configuration screen will display to allow the appropriate columns to be selected and populated.

Manage Columns

Each campaign key will have a table of seed data that will be re-used in all seed implementations, the Manage column options allows the administrator to select and reorder the columns to be populated.

1. Select the Manage columns button to display the Manage columns dialogue
2. Select columns from the left hand pane that will be populated with Seed data. These columns will then appear on the right hand pane allowing them to be re-ordered as required to display top to bottom in the desired order. Columns can be deleted by either de-selecting, or using the delete icon
3. On completion of the desired structure, click Done which will add the specified columns to the Seed data table.

Adding Seed Data

Once the column structure has been defined for a campaign key, the actual Seed data can be imported using the Import options. The import process supports the use of Excel created .csv files which should be constructed with no header row. The import process will import a .csv file into the grid. The first column of the .csv file must contain at least one Seed List name, but each seed can be a member of multiple lists by simply adding a comma separated list in column 1. Alternatively for smaller Seed data, seed rows can be inserted manaully.

Seed data Import Procedure

1. Prepare the .csv file to match the Seed table structure and populate with required Seed values
2. Click import and browse to the defined .csv file. Note that on the first import, the file can also simply be dragged onto the grid to perform an import/paste process
3. Select the .csv file and click open
4. Review the produced table ensuring that the data displayed is correct.
5. If incorrect simply repeat the above process. The Refresh icon at the top of the grid can be used at any time to cancel the import. Refresh will retrieve the most recently saved Seed data and display in the table.
6. Once the data is correct click Save to save the Seed data and lists.

Example .csv

Once imported, this will create two seed lists, i.e. Seed List 1 and Seed List 2

The Seed data can now be saved and the Lists will be available within the Campaign Designer application within the output elements.

Seed data can be added manually using the option

Editing Seed Data

Seed data can be manually edited, added or removed at any time.

• Existing Seed data is editable by simply clicking into the grid cell and editing the value then clicking Save.
• Seed Lists can be added or removed by simply clicking into it and editing the value. Existing Seed List names can only be edited via a complete new import.
• New seed rows can be added by clicking the option.
• Seed rows are removed using the delete option.
• Save is always required to persist changes.
• The Refresh icon can be used to cancel any changes to revert to the previously saved.
