To ensure every group in your company records data in the same way and is able to view and use the information efficiently, you must first decide how the marketing area manages certain aspects of your contacts. For example, you can decide how number series are defined or what the standard salutation should be when writing to your contacts.
In the Marketing Setup window, the following sections need to be defined:
-
General
-
Inheritance
-
Defaults
-
Interactions
-
Synchronization
-
Numbering
-
Duplicates
-
E-mail Logging
The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them. These tasks are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
