Archives help you to structure your mailings if there are a lot of them. In an archive, you group all mailings relating to the same subject in a file. An archive may, for instance, consist of all mailings sent over several weeks to customers in the context of a promotion campaign. The archive may group date or action-based mailings (see chapter "Maintain recipient's profile with actions") or all mailings sent out in the context of a weekly newsletter feature.
You decide how to group mailings into archives. Whenever you create a new mailing, you decide which archive it should belong to. It is, of course, still possible to create mailings without assigning them to an archive, or to decide which existing mailing should be grouped together. Archives assignments may be amended at any time.
There are no rules in OpenEMM on how to assign mailings to archives. It is possible to create an archive called „Miscellaneous“ grouping single mailings for which there is no special category. The list of mailings in the Mailings section will not change by archive assignments and will still show all mailings created so far and sorted by date.
