Plugin Support

Plugin symbols are created specifically for your organization. They let you merge data from a source other than the Master Database, for example a blog entry from your web site. Symbol type names in the drop-down list indicate the data gathering technique, for example Blog Lookup. Some examples of plugin symbols that e-Dialog has created for clients include:

To create plugin symbols for your organization, you work with your e-Dialog account team to identify your needs, how to meet those needs, and any pricing requirements.

Any plugin symbols that are available to your organization appear in the Data Type drop-down. In the following example, Article Lookup is a plugin symbol:

The way you specify the default value is specific to the plugin symbol. Some plugin symbols also require you to specify rules by clicking Edit Rule.

Mandatory Suppression Lists

Precision Central 7.0.4 lets you set mandatory suppression lists on a per user basis. When you create a new cell in Campaign Builder, any default suppression lists assigned to you are automatically added to that cell. The default suppression lists cannot be removed once applied to the cell; Campaign Builder displays a read-only list of these suppression lists.

To specify mandatory suppression lists:

1. From the Precision Central menu, select Administration > User Management.

   

2. Select the user for whom you want to set mandatory suppression lists.

   

3. Click Edit User.
4. Click the Advanced tab.

   

5. Select Campaign Builder.
6. Select Audience.
7. Click in the Value column of the Default Suppression List row, and then click .
8. Move the suppression lists that you want to make mandatory for this user from the Available to the Selected column using the arrows.

   

9. Click Apply.
10. Click Save.

When the user creates a cell, the suppression lists you specified appear in the Audience Tab automatically. The user cannot remove the mandatory suppression lists from the cell.

Campaign Level Search Permissioning

In Precision Central 7.0.4, you can restrict visibility of a campaign so that only some users can search for and see the campaign.

To set campaign level search permission:

1. Start Campaign Builder.
2. On the Campaign List page, click Show in the Permissions bar.

   

3. Select the users that you don't want to be able to see the campaign by clicking the check box next to their name.

   Tip: If the list of users is very long, click a letter to the left of the list of users to navigate quickly to users whose last name begins with that letter.

   

4. Click Save.

Updated Content Library Picker

When you create a Content Case symbol in Precision Central 7.0.4 and then edit the rules, the user interface to select the content object for each rule is significantly faster and more streamlined.

To see the new user interface:

1. Create a Content Case symbol in the Symbols tab of Campaign Builder.

   

2. Click EDIT RULE.
3. Enter the value for the rule, and then click Click to select.

   

   The Content Object Picker appears in the Edit Rule page. Because the list is cached, you will probably notice an improvement in performance.

   

4. Click the radio button next to the content to use for the rule, and then click Insert.

   

5. Follow steps 3 and 4 for each rule.
