Defining Collateral Elements
Collateral refers to any materials used to deliver your campaign message. Collateral can be printed material, such as a flyer or magazine insert, a radio or television ad, or a script used by a marketing agent.
This topic discusses how to define collateral types and subtypes.
Note: Collateral type and collateral subtype are included for reporting organizational purposes and are fully modifiable: no system requirements exist for the codes, so you can define them as you want.
To define collateral types, use the Content Types (RA_UD_CONT_TYPE) component. To define collateral subtypes, use the Content Subtypes (RA_UD_CNT_STYPE) component.
