Adobe Campaign Classic Control Groups in Delivery

[cmabruzzese0923]

Hello, the targeted audience going into the delivery activity has multiple segment codes. For example, 100 people with 50% segment code A and 50% segment code B. I'd like to have a control group of 20% for EACH segment. So of the 50 people labeled segment code A, we'd like to have 20% in control group (10 people), and of the 50 people labeled segment code B, we'd also like to have 20% in control group (10 people). Total send would be 80 recipients (40 from each segment code) and 20 recipients in the control group (10 from each segment code). Is this possible to do in one delivery? My only other thought is to do a split for each segment (random sample of 20%) and give them a label of "control" in the target data and then in the delivery control group configuration select anyone with the label of "control". I'm trying to avoid reworking the workflow to add in the splits for each segment and then union everything back together again to input into the delivery. Thank you in advance for any help!! Cindy

Hi,

Correct, use a segment code and select for it in the control group query of the delivery.

Thanks,

i can do a data grouping by segment code but it only allows me to select a count, not a percentage ... i'd like to do 20% for each segment code ...

Split/cell activities have an option to limit by %. Also, use a cell activity instead of split+union, it's cleaner and more efficient.
