This topic describes all of the various configuration options available for Email Campaigns when working in the "Classic" or legacy version of the Campaign screen.
Note: The classic Campaign screen has been replaced with the current Campaign screen (previously known as the "Enhanced Workflow"). Unless you have a specific reason for needing to use the classic Campaign screen, you should typically use the current Campaign screen instead. The classic screen is no longer being updated, and lacks many newer features and usability enhancements.
This topic describes all of the various configuration options available for Email Campaigns in the classic Campaign screen. This topic assumes that you already created the Campaign (see Campaigns for more details on how to create a Campaign).
The Campaign screen is organized into the following areas:
Triggers |
Sender Profile |
Audience |
Message |
Sending |
Responses |
Proofing |
Auditing |
Launching |
The Tool Ribbon at the top of the screen provides access to the following general Campaign settings.
Configure Campaign Metadata Engage+ offers the ability to tag Campaigns with custom Metadata fields and values. These Metadata fields allow you to create Filters that look for specific Metadata tags in them, or for use in reports, future Campaigns, or other tasks. You can also add Metadata fields to the Campaign content for personalization. To assign Metadata values to a Campaign

Marketers often need to divide their Campaign Audience into smaller segments, or cells. You might need to do this in order to test the effectiveness of a particular marketing message, or because you need to use a different sending method, or schedule, for the different cells.
Messaging provides you with the ability to create complex, sophisticated ways of segmenting your Audience. The platform supports two different segmentation methods: "A / B Testing" and "Split Cells."
Split Cells allow you to divide your Campaign Audience into different receiving groups, with or without the use of a "remainder" Audience. With Split Cells, you can create a complex hierarchy of nested cells, each of which is designated with a unique code that can be used elsewhere in the platform, such as reports, exports, and Filters. You can enter these cells directly into the user interface, or import them from a spreadsheet. This segmentation method can be used for testing purposes, although that's not really its primary intent, as this method won't calculate a "winner" like A / B Testing does.
Note: Split Cells are available in all Channels, and for all Campaign types.
For more information on configuring Split Cells within your Email Campaign, please see Split Cells.
A / B Testing is intended to be used to compare the effectiveness of a Campaign element in order to determine a "winner." For example, you might want to test how customers respond to a particular subject line or promotional offer. A typical testing approach is to divide your Audience into multiple segments consisting of a small portion of your total Audience. Each of these test segments (called "cells") is sent a Campaign message that varies based on whatever element you're testing. The platform tracks the responses to your different messages, and identifies which message variant was the most successful. The system can then automatically submit this winning message variant to the rest of your Campaign Audience (called the "remainder"). This segmentation method is highly configurable, and allows you to define the element you're testing, how many test cells to create, how to calculate the Audience for each cells, and how to determine the "winner."
Note: A / B Testing is available only in the email Channel, and only for Regular One-Off Campaigns.
For more information on configuring an A / B Test within your Email Campaign, please see A / B Test.
