There are two types of Asset Workflow Metaproperties.
You can use campaign metaproperties to create recurring fields, which you can add to specific campaign presets. This could be useful if you often need to retrieve the same information in your Workflow Campaigns. For example, country and city information or the market your campaign is targeting.
You can also use these metaproperties to set up filters for your Asset Workflow overview screen.
-
Go to Settings > Workflow > Metaproperty Management and click Campaign.
-
Click Add metaproperty to create a new campaign metaproperty.
-
Select the type of field you want to use in the Type dropdown and enter a label for the field in the Label section. In the Description field, you can enter additional information. For certain field types, you may want to enter a question you would like your users to answer using the available options.
Checkbox
Select this type if you want users to tick one or more options. They can check or uncheck the available options.
Date
This will display a date picker that users can use to select a date.
Input field
If you choose this field any metaproperty options that do not exist will be created and mapped to the newly created option.
Multiselect
This will display a searchable dropdown list allowing your users to select one or more options. In the Options section you can enter the values you want your users to choose from.
Radio button
This will display radio buttons. Radio buttons only allow one option to be selected. Since one of the available values always has to be selected, we advise using this type for required fields only. If the field is not required to fill in, make sure you add an N/A option, so users can leave the field unanswered.
Selectbox
This will display a searchable dropdown list allowing your users to select one of the available options. Unlike the multiselect dropdown, this type only allows you to select one option. In the Options section you can enter the values you want your users to choose from.
Smart
The smart type will generate a unique identifier for the campaign. You can use this identifier to make a reference to the campaign in one of your external systems. The unique identifier can be created by inputting data from your users and general information such as the creation date of the campaign. Follow the steps below to set up a smart option.
Note
The unique identifier is generated based on the order of the smart elements. Make sure you add the elements in the right sequence.
-
Make sure that the Type dropdown is set to Smart.
-
Go to the Smart options section and click Add part.
-
Click the Type dropdown and select Selectbox or Smart.
Selectbox
This will allow users to choose from certain options. The value assigned to the selected option will be used in the unique identifier. You could for example use a selectbox to let your users select a market for your product. If a user selects the market label "Europe", the value "EU" could be used as part of your unique identifier.
Smart
With smart data you can use portal data as components for your unique identifier.
Date: Day
This will look at the creation date of the campaign. The day of the month the campaign was created will be used as a numeric value in the unique identifier.
Date: Month
This will look at the creation date of the campaign. The month number will be used as a numeric value in the unique identifier.
Date: Year
This will look at the creation date of the campaign. The year will be used as a numeric value in the unique identifier.
Job: Numeric ID

Asset Bank metaproperty

After you create your campaign metaproperties you can add them to a campaign preset. The metaproperties will be visible as fields in the popup that you get to see when creating a new campaign that is based on that preset. Adding campaign metaproperties can be useful if you often create new campaigns, where users need to fill in the same kind of information.

Click Add preset or open one of the existing presets.
-
Click the Metaproperties dropdown and select the campaign metaproperties you would like to add.

Campaign filters are available on the campaign overview page and allow users to filter and find the campaigns they're looking for. For example, if your Workflow campaigns are tagged with countries, users can use the filter to search for the country they are looking for.
Campaign metaproperties of which the type is set to Asset Bank metaproperty can be used as campaign filters. After you've added this campaign metaproperty to a campaign preset, you can start creating campaign filters on the Smartfilter Management page of your portal. Follow the steps below.
Note
Only campaign metaproperties of which the type is set to Asset Bank metaproperty can be used as campaign filters.
