Adding a Plan Entry:
When adding an item to your communication plan, you can include the following information:
Message Name

Target Segment - use this to note the categories or field values you are intending to use for targeting this campaign.
Scheduled Date - the date when you plan to send the message.
Reminder Date - choose a date prior to the Scheduled Date which gives the responsible person enough time to prepare the message prior to the date you plan to send the message out.
Send Reminder Email to - enter the email address of the person responsible for the task. They will receive a reminder email on the chosen Reminder Date.
Description - add description for easy identification in the list of messages.

Notes - add any additional comments about this planned message. You can edit the task and add more notes along the way. We recommend that you use it write down what you had in mind for this message, including the purpose, action you are seeking from the reader etc. Using the notes to store links to information that will help you write the message is also a great way to use the communication plan feature.
The "Communication Plan" option is located in both the Quick Links drop down, and also the navigation accessed via your User Name.
