How to edit a Package
Packages are a collection of programs (acquisitions and/or automated external suppressions) that are set up so they can run in a certain order. This allows you to prioritize the sequence of acquisitions to ensure that duplicate records are not sent on the same day from different programs.
For example, you have two Auto Order acquisitions: one for retention and one for acquisition. You will likely want the retention program to run first, be available for suppression and then have the acquisition program suppress against the retention program so they don’t receive duplicate records.
Another example is that you have an automated external suppression that is loaded every day. You may also have a program that you would like to run after the external suppression is loaded. Packages will handle this scenario as well.
Step 1 Select the Package you need to edit
