To enter bulk communication parameter values

The procedure to enter bulk communication parameter values is as follows:

1. Navigate to Quick Menu > Communication Engine > Communication > Bulk Communications. The Bulk Communications window is displayed.
2. Expand a generation management method and select an associated bulk communication from the alphabetical list, or type its name into the Search Bulk Communications field. By default the list is filtered to show Current communications. An alternative filter can be applied using the Filter by drop-down field: Expired, Future or All combinations 1.
3. Click on Parameters 2. The Parameters tab is activated and all linked parameters are displayed.
4. Enter an appropriate value or response for each parameter i.e. a date and time, an integer (within a specified range), a lookup selection or free text. Additionally, for scheduled bulk communications, multi-select the dates to which the parameter values relate using the tick boxes provided and click on Apply Parameters 3.
5. Click on Save 4.

Note

1 The Search Bulk Communications field will match against any element of the communication name.

2 Where no parameters have been created within the communication definition or a conditional statement for the recipient cohort has not been set, the tab will be omitted.

3 Alternative parameter values can be set for different date combinations simply by activating the corresponding tick boxes and repeating the Apply Parameters operation.

4 All mandatory parameters must have an entered value or response before the record can be saved.
