Creating Output File Layouts

Use the Output File Layouts view to define, edit, and sequence the fields that you want to appear in your distribution list.

To create output file layouts

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Marketing Administration > Output File Layouts.
  2. In the Output File Layouts list, create a new record.
  3. Complete the necessary fields.
    1. Type a name and description for the format.
    2. Select the Header check box if list header information is required by your vendor.

      3. If this check box is selected, header information is automatically added to the list when it is generated. The header format includes the following:

      • Stage name
      • Campaign name
      • Campaign source code
      • Vendor name
      • Wave source code
      • Output file layout ID
      • Location of the list file (path)
      • Time stamp
      • Number of records
      • Record length (the sum of the width of the components in the output file layout)
    3. Click the Customer Hierarchy select button.
    4. In the Pick Customer Hierarchy dialog box, select the customer hierarchy for the format and click OK.

      5. You cannot change the customer hierarchy after the record is saved.

    5. Click the Targeting Level select button.
    6. In the Pick Targeting Level dialog box, choose a level and click OK.

      7. The customer hierarchy and targeting level chosen here determine the availability of custom measures when you define components of the output file layout. All bound and list measures are available, regardless of customer hierarchy.

    7. If you include seed names in the list, click the Seed List select button.
    8. In the Pick Seed Lists dialog box, choose the predefined Seed List and then click OK.

      9. For more information on creating a seed list, see Creating and Modifying Seed Lists for Output File Layouts.

      If you later disassociate a seed list from the format, make sure you remove seed list information from the Seed List Column and Seed List Default fields in the Details view fields. These fields are discussed in Table 38.
