Targeting dimensions targeting-dimensions
The targeting dimension, also known as target mapping, is the type of data that an operation handles. It defines the targeted population, such as profiles, contract beneficiaries, operators, or subscribers.
Workflows’ targeting dimensions workflow
The targeting dimension of a workflow is defined by the first Build audience activity and is used across all subsequent activities until the end of the workflow. For example, when querying profiles from the database, the outbound transition contains data of type ‘recipient’, which is transmitted to the next activity.
Switch the targeting dimension in a workflow using a Change dimension activity. This allows querying the database on a specific table, such as purchases or subscriptions, and then changing the targeting dimension to Recipients to send deliveries to the corresponding profiles.
When selecting a targeting dimension (in the workflow settings or in activities such as Build audience, Reconciliation, or Change dimension), a list of commonly used schemas is displayed by default. To show all available schemas, toggle the Show all schemas button. The option selection is saved for each user.
Targeting dimensions list
By default, email and SMS delivery templates target profiles. Their target dimension uses the fields of the nms:recipient table. For Push notifications, the default target dimension is Subscriber applications nms:appSubscriptionRcp, which is linked to the recipients table.
Use other built-in target mappings in workflows and deliveries, as listed below:
Additionally, create new target mappings based on specific needs. Perform this operation from the client console only. Learn more in Campaign v8 (client console) documentation.
