Hi Taw Sern,

Query 1. what does each module and what does each access mean?

Modules are different functionalities available under a component.

For example: Channel component has four modules namely: Treatments, Extract Templates, Delivery Channels and eSettings.

Access means the different ways of usage of these CMD modules, an admin wish to provide for a set of users like owner, group or all.

Different access available are none, read, execute, save, delete. And these access holds good to users in a particular group or all as set by the owner/admin.Admin has the ability to prioritize on access to different users under a particular user group defined.

Query 2.

E.g. For attribute, if I am not wrong, it is storing information only, and to be display in Campaign definition when necessary. So why is there an “Execute” privilege in the access?

“Execute” access is set for users to have access to execute and read any objects that are created by other members of their group within the particular customer data view/module but cannot modify it.

Attribute module provides the user with the ability to define and maintain reference information used in creating campaigns or their components. Attributes have information that could be manipulated as needed but to avoid accidental modification by non-admins, access is set to “execute”.

In simple scenario, a campaign could be seen by the group members and executed (rescheduled) but cannot be modified which could be useful where campaign is predefined with required functionality.

Query 3.

I am trying to set up a new view for our user. They only need to modify the Treatment elements (to customize SMS message) and to execute the campaign (Set date/time of next run, queue, and suspend). The campaign is prebuild by us. What is the minimal access that we need to grant to them?

Treatment as a whole can only be provided access to be modified with “delete” access. But separate access to Treatment elements specific is not available. And you may provide “execute” access to the campaign that is predefined by you so as to avoid modification by users.

Query 4: In addition, what is the different between the module “Campaign Schedule Overview” and “Schedule Manager”?

Schedule Manager module allows you to control and inspect the execution of the various Marketing Director processes like Task groups, Batch and campaigns.

Task Groups are created and maintained in this module. Here you can group related processes and set the execution to be repeated on a cyclical basis. The execution of the processes in a task group can be set as parallel or sequential. Campaigns are created and maintained in their own module but are scheduled here. Individual campaign cycle processes can be re-scheduled here. Batch processes are single runs triggered from various modules but each process can be maintained and re-scheduled here.

Campaign Schedule Overview module is a browser application within Marketing Director. It offers central marketers and administrators the ability to view a list of components for a particular campaign cycle, or a list of components running on one particular day. It can be used by marketers to consider the business effects of the concurrent processing, and by system administrators to oversee the data traffic.
