Target Group Definition - Send to all Subscriber Lists in a Group

To create a new target group, select New Recipient Target Group... from the menu (or go via the right-click menu of the Target Groups node or a target group folder in the subscriber warehouse).

Note: If the new target group has not the desired type "Send to all Subscriber Lists in a Group", you can change the target group type on the source page.

This Target Group Definition wizard lets you define a target group of the "Send to all Subscriber Lists in a Group" type that can be used in the recipients wizard to define the recipients of a job.

The wizard for a target group of the "Send to all Subscriber Lists in a Group" type has multiple pages:
General, Source, Source Details, Parameters, Input Layout, Input Preview, and Summary.

The top row of the wizard displays links to each of these pages. The page that is currently open is marked with a highlighted background color. Depending on the choices made on some of the wizard pages, other pages may become disabled or may be shown in different versions. If a wizard page is disabled, then it means that this page is not necessary with the current choices and can safely be ignored.

Source Page: Select Subscriber List Group

Select the desired subscriber list group from the drop-down menu.

After clicking the [OK] button, the screen displays all of the list groups and their respective subscriber lists. Once a list is selected, the wizard will allow for conditions and parameters to be set in order to segment the list subscribers.

Select Recipients from a Database or LDAP Directory:

If you choose this target group type, in the target group wizard you will need to select a database or LDAP connection, a SQL statement (or LDAP search), merge column headers, and duplicate elimination, just as you would when using the underlying recipients type in the recipients wizard. Optionally, the SQL statement and LDAP search filters can be parameterized, meaning that you can define parameters for the SQL (or LDAP search) that are filled out by the user in the recipient wizard, when this target group is used for a recipient definition.
