TFS Smart Campaign - Table of Contents

Documentation Disclaimer

     

        

TFS can organise commonly targeted groups of people or businesses into marketing groups. This is useful for criteria selection as a specific group may be selected for a campaign. All entities within a selected group will be included in the campaign.


 Opening the Market Groups Screen - Click here to expand...
  • From the Groups menu, select Market.
  • From the sidebar, select Groups then Market.



An entity may belong to more than one marketing group, but may only appear in each marketing group's list once.

There are two lists on the screen: 

  • Marketing Groups: Displays a list of the current marketing groups.
  • Group Entities: Displays all entities that have been assigned to a selected marketing group.

New marketing groups are added to SmartCampaign through the Market Groups screen.

  1. Click the Marketing Groups list. A shadow will appear around the list to show that it is selected.
  2. Click the New button. The Marketing Group dialog will be displayed.

  4. Click the Short Name Copy button () if the short name is to be the same as the name.
    OR
    Enter a short name.
