Using Existing Symbols in a Grid

Grid Object Symbols

You can use an existing symbol as a grid object symbol by changing its data type. However, if the existing symbol is used in the cell content, this practice is not recommended.

Grid Symbols

Symbols that have the same name as a grid data file column can already exist in your cell and can be used in the content or elsewhere in the cell. In that case, Campaign Builder changes the data type of these existing symbols to Grid Symbol.

Note: Do not manually change the data type of a Grid Symbol. To do is not supported and may cause the grid to malfunction.

Key Value Symbols

You can use an existing symbol as the grid key value symbol. Campaign Builder associates the symbol with the grid and does not change the symbol in any way. However, once the grid is working, you cannot delete the key value symbol.
