Unica Campaign project templates
If Unica Plan is integrated with Unica Campaign, campaign project templates guide users in creating a campaign project. Campaign projects integrate the planning and project management features of Unica Plan with the campaign development features of Unica Campaign.

    - Unica Plan and Unica Campaign Integration reports package
      The Unica Plan and Unica Campaign Integration Reports Package contains several IBM® Cognos® reports that query and display information from both the Unica Campaign system tables and the Unica Plan system tables.
  - Creating a campaign in an integrated environment
    The workflow for creating a campaign when Unica Plan and Unica Campaign are integrated consists of the following tasks.
  - Offers and offer templates in an integrated system
    If offer integration is enabled, you create offers in Unica Plan, then publish them for use in Unica Campaign. You can set up offers before they are assigned to cells in Unica Campaign. Offers are based on templates, which are also created in Unica Plan.
  - To create a TCS
    You can create a Target Cell Spreadsheet by following these steps.
  - Assigning offers and offer lists to cells when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated environment, use Unica Plan to assign offers and offer lists to output cells in a Target Cell Spreadsheet (TCS®). The TCS is a part of each campaign project in Unica Plan.
  - Disabling or re-enabling integration
    Although it is possible to disable integration after you enable it, it is best to avoid this action if possible.
  - Configuring property settings for integrated deployment
    When Unica Plan and Unica Campaign are integrated, you use Unica Plan to plan, create, and approve campaigns.
  - Completing the TCS
    You define all of the target and control cells for your campaign and assign offers in the Target Cell Spreadsheet. Your TCS® must contain all cell definitions for your entire campaign.
  - Offer creation in an integrated system
    When offer integration is enabled, you create offer templates and offers in Unica Plan and publish the offers for use in Unica Campaign.
  - Managing offers when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated system, you access offers from the Operations menu instead of the Unica Campaign menu. You can then complete tasks as you would in an unintegrated Unica Campaign system.
  - Managing offer templates and attributes when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated system, you access offer templates from Unica Plan Settings instead of Campaign Settings.
  - Assigning offers and offer lists to cells when offer integration is enabled
    In an integrated environment, use Unica Plan to assign offers and offer lists to output cells in a Target Cell Spreadsheet (TCS®). The TCS is a part of each campaign project in Unica Plan.
  - Publishing the TCS
    To make the cell definitions and offer assignments in the TCS® available to Unica Campaign, you must publish the TCS. Anytime you make updates to data in the TCS, you must publish the TCS again to make those changes visible to Unica Campaign.

Creating campaign project templates

In integrated Unica Plan and Unica Campaign, you use campaign projects to access Unica Campaign information within Unica Plan.
