Targets

Typically Targets are used as the recipients of a Marketing Campaign, your organisation knows very little about these individuals and they may be re-used for new Campaigns or deleted without any impact to the business. Your organisation will spend little resources on Targets and will usually be contacted en masse. Targets can be acquired from purchased email lists or gathered from trade shows your organisation has been present. The Targets module in SuiteCRM is used to store and manage information about these individuals.

Targets Actions

You can access the Targets actions from the Targets module menu drop down or via the Sidebar. The Targets actions are as follows:

  • Create Target – A new form is opened in Edit View to allow you to create a new Target record.

  • Import Targets – Redirects you will be taken to the Import Wizard for the Targets module. For more information, see Importing Records.
