Finding activities

You can find your campaign activities in the Management Center either by browsing, or by searching.

About this taskTo find a campaign activity:

  1. Open the Marketing tool.

  2. Find activities by using one of these methods:

    • Browse the Activity list

      You can find all of the activities defined for the store in the Activities list. You can apply filters to the list to limit the activities to make it easier to find a specific activity. For example, you can show only the e-mail activities, or only the Web activities.

    • Browse the Activity calendar

      1. Click View > Show Activity Calendar, or right-click Activities in the explorer view; then click Show Activity Calendar.

      2. Navigate the displayed activities in one of the following ways:

        • Enter the date range using the Range fields.

        • Scroll the date range selector horizontally by using the scroll bar under the selector.

      You can resize the width of the date range selector using either the preset widths, or by dragging either side of the date range selector.

    • Browse for activities scheduled to an e-Marketing Spot

      1. Click E-Marketing Spots in the explorer view.

      2. Scroll through the list to find the e-Marketing Spot for which you want to see the scheduled activities.

      3. Right-click the e-Marketing Spot; then click either Show Activity List or Show Activity Calendar.

      The appropriate view displays, listing the activities currently scheduled for the selected e-Marketing Spot.

    • Browse for activities associated with a campaign

      1. Click Campaigns in the explorer view.

      2. Scroll through the list to find the campaign for which you want to see the associated activities.

      3. Right-click the campaign; then click either Show Activity List or Show Activity Calendar.

      The appropriate view displays, listing the activities currently scheduled for the selected campaign.

    • Simple search

      Type a search string in the search field, select from a list of object types, and click

      . Once you find the activity you are looking for, you can double-click it to open it in the properties editor.

      The system performs a search of the activity name field based on your search criteria. This is a case-insensitive search.

      You can also use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard before or after your search string. For example, to find all products that begin with "ABC", type ABC*; to find all products that end in "ABC", type *ABC.

      Any special characters (for example, &, %, #, @, and so on), are treated literally. The asterisk (*); however, is only treated literally when used between two asterisks (such as *xxx*xxx*), or used in the middle of a string (such as 123*789).

      If you do not enter a string, the search returns all of the defined activities.
