Configuring Basic and Advanced Email Personalization

Your application can be configured to use one of two methods for email merge fields:

• Basic. The Basic mode is used when your organization has not licensed or deployed the marketing segmentation module, or if your requirements do not call for advanced merge fields. This option uses a fixed set of merge fields based on the available fields in the campaign recipient business component. In this mode, the email list is generated directly from the business component and delivered to the Email Sending Daemon for sending the email messages.

• Advanced. The Advanced mode is only available if your organization has deployed the marketing segmentation module. This option provides a flexible set of merge fields based on data from any data source or table accessed by the Oracle Business Intelligence repository. The merge fields are determined by the fields in the Personalization Format (Email Server list format) that you select for the email offer.
