Manage Email Campaigns Do not set an archive date unless you mean for the campaign to be archived on that date. If you fill in with the current date, it will not show up on the main menu unless you hit the Archived category. Data Source Data Source The Data Source page is where you connect Campaign Enterprise to your database list of email addresses. You can use a basic connection to a table or query on your database, or write your own SQL select statement. Basic connection SQL Statement Campaign Enterprise can connect to any Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) compliant database using a system Data Source Name (DSN) or OLE DB provider. Text (.txt) and comma separated value (.csv) files also need to have a DSN set up in order to use them. These types of files cannot be updated however rendering many of the Campaign Enterprise features virtually ineffective. Campaign now has built-in Subscriber List available to which a basic list of email addresses can be imported. At this point you should already have some sort of database configured where your email addresses are stored. If not, you will need to set one up. Please see the database section. For testing purposes we recommend setting up a small table on your primary database with just a few email addresses that you can access. A selection of internal and external email accounts will allow you to see how your campaign appears in different environments. Connect To A Database Select the database type from the drop down menu: • If you are using database shortcuts, simply pick the shortcut name from the list for which you are approved. • If you select a built-in list, select the particular table you want to use from the drop down list. • If you select access • Click browse and find the pathway to your Access database. A typical pathway may look like, C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\dbname.mdb. • Click Select to return to the datasource tab 31
