Message Properties

You can view or modify Message properties from the Properties view of the Message Component window. Some properties are specified when creating a Message and can be modified here as well as other advanced properties.

To view Message properties

From the Message Component window, click the Properties view.
The Properties view will be loaded.

The following table provides explanations on the properties displayed.

Property	What it is for
Name	Defines the Message name and is displayed in the Message Component List.
Message Type	This read-only property displays the type of Message that this is.
Job Code	Defines an internal reference or job code for this Message.
Allow Resend	Determines if this Message can be sent to a selected Contact when it is requested.
Alpha ID	Defines an Alpha ID for this Message.
Campaign	If this Message is part of a Campaign, determines which Campaign.
Merge Data	Determines the Contact data that is made available for Message personalization. There are two options available: Merge Contact Data Only is the default option, and the only option if Message is not part of a Campaign. This allows for fields from the Contact's record to be used in personalization tags. Merge Campaign Member Data if this Message is part of a Campaign then you can choose to allow Campaign Member fields to be used in personalization tags. This will result in both the standard fields from the Contact's record and those from the Contact's Member record (including extension entity attributes) being available. When inserting attributes, these fields will be displayed as Merge.xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the field name.
Description	Defines the description for this Message.
