Selections and Target Groups

This function allows you to create a set of predefined selections and target groups.

For more information about selections and target groups, see Selection.

The selection header that you create in this component is independent of any campaign, trade promotion, or activity journal. Therefore, a target group that is generated using a selection header can be used for both campaigns and trade promotions, and during creation of activity journals.
