Edit Scheduled Entry Point Attributes

After you add a Scheduled Entry Point element to your flow diagram, you can edit its attributes to schedule regular runs of a campaign for a designated segment.

When launched, a scheduled campaign can be edited, suspended, rescheduled, or canceled at any time. Information about past runs—such as the time last run, next scheduled runtime, the time the schedule was last updated, and basic results data—is stored in the knowledge base and tracked in the Recurring Campaigns Summary report. Also, each recurrence is tracked in the campaign audit log along with a description of how many contacts were processed. See Audit Logs.

1. Double-click the Scheduled Entry Point element to open the Scheduled Entry Point window.
   Note: To avoid conflicts, campaigns may contain only one Scheduled Entry Point. Those containing a Scheduled Entry Point cannot contain a broadcast mailing and cannot be selected to run automatically when using the Data Upload Wizard.
2. Enter the name of the entry point in the Label field.
3. Enter field information.
