The creation and definition steps of a campaign depend on the type of campaign you want to work with.
There are four types of campaign:
- An Arbitration campaign defines a list of possible arbitration choices on tasks. The outcome of an Arbitration task is the arbitration choice made by data stewards.
- A Resolution campaign enables data stewards to cure any anomalies in data records such as invalid or missing values.
- A Merging campaign enables data stewards to merge several potential duplicated data records into one single master record.
- A Grouping campaign defines a list of possible arbitration choices for pairs or groups of records. The outcome of a grouping task is the choice made by data stewards on the group of records.
The creation and definition of a campaign consist of four main steps:
- General: definition of the campaign metadata.
- Roles: definition of the roles in the campaign.
- Data model: definition of the data model, the structure of the data to be managed.
- Workflow: definition of the workflow controlling the transitioning of tasks from one state to another.
