Allocating Split-Run Percentages

To begin a split-run campaign launch, click Actions on the side navigation bar, and select Launch Split Run Campaign. (Not seeing this choice? Refer to the Side navigation bar changes topic.)

Use the split-run distribution page to select the percentages of recipients for your split-run campaigns. Note that the distribution percentages you specify do not take into account any exclusions, suppressions (including unsubscribes), or possible skips from the personalization process. This means that each split will not necessarily send the same number of messages.

Changing distribution percentages

By default, the distribution list is divided equally between all campaigns.

The percentage for all campaigns always totals 100%. If you change any percentages, Oracle Responsys automatically distributes the remainder to equal 100%. If you want a percentage to remain the same when you change any others, you can lock it. For example, you have a split-run with three campaigns: CampaignA, CampaignB, and CampaignC. If all campaigns are unlocked and you change a percentage for CampaignA, the remainder will be distributed equally between CampaignB and CampaignC. However, if CampaignA is locked and you change the percentage for CampaignB, the remainder will be distributed to CampaignC, and CampaignA will remain unchanged. To lock a percentage, click . To unlock a percentage, click .

Note: You can limit the number of recipients for the split-run launch when specifying launch options in the next step. For example, if you limit the number of recipients to 5, the split-run will be sent only to the first 5 recipients in your list.

To change a percentage:

  1. Type the percentage you want and click .

    The percentage is changed and the remainder is re-calculated for the other campaigns to equal 100%.

  2. Click Next to continue to the next step.
