Link Type Filters

You can limit the scope of a campaign to certain types of links.

Entities in a configuration can be connected in three ways:

Direct Connection

Only an explicit, direct link connects two entities. There are no implicit links between them due to parent-child inheritance in the role hierarchy.

Indirect Connection

Two entities are connected only through a role, or through parent-child inheritance of links in the role hierarchy. There is no direct link between them.

Dual Connection

Two entities are linked both directly through an explicit link, and indirectly through the role hierarchy.

Define these filters in the Filter screen of the campaign creation wizard. In the Select Links area of the screen, specify the direct, indirect, and dual links you want to include in the campaign. To refine your selection, open the Direct, Indirect, and Dual fields to show a tree of links relevant to the type of campaign you are creating.
