The Run list displays all of the run records for a selected campaign. The Run list simply records the date that a particular campaign is (or should be) run. Each campaign will have one or more run records listed. A run is used to record the date that a campaign should be scheduled. It is recommended that the month and the year of the scheduled marketing campaign run is used for the name. This will assist with campaigns that are run monthly or quarterly, making them easy to identify. A marketing campaign must have at least one run record to process a marketing campaigns output.

1. Click in the Run section of the screen
