List activity in Adobe campaign classic

[KD1]

Hi @ParthaSarathy 

Kindly help me to understand below points in the Adobe campaign classic List activity, I tried refering document, but not able to understand.

1. In Save type:

i. What does “Create or use a list with its own table” mean?

If I check this option, the list type saved is List.

If I uncheck this option, the list type saved is Group.

What difference does this make?

2. In Database used for storing the list table, there are below options:

i. Adobe Campaign database

ii. Database of targeting dimensions

iii. Share with ACS

Kindly help me to understand the above points.

Hi @KD1,

I’m not sure how detailed the official docs are on this, but here’s my understanding of the List activity options in Adobe Campaign Classic:

1. Create or use a list with its own table

* Checked: Creates a List, which means a new table is created that stores a copy of the selected recipients. Think of it as a static snapshot you can reuse later.

* Unchecked: Creates a Group, which doesn’t copy data but simply references the existing recipients dynamically. So it updates automatically if your base data changes and uses less storage.

2. Database options

* Adobe Campaign database: The default internal database where most data is stored.

* Database of targeting dimensions: Stores the list in the same database as your main targeting data (like recipients). Useful if you have multiple databases.

* Share with ACS: For sharing lists with Adobe Campaign Standard (ACS). Only relevant if you have a hybrid ACC + ACS setup.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you want more examples or details.

Thanks,
