32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

Schema namespace

The prefix before the colon in a schema name, such as nms, xtk, or cus, that identifies its origin; the default SQL table concatenates namespace and name.

Internal key

A key element with internal="true" declares a schema's primary key; its keyfield xpath points to the field, usually stored as column iId.

Unbound field

A multivalued element declared with unbound="true"; its values are stored in a separate linked table rather than as a column in the main table.

Computed field

A schema element carrying an expr attribute whose value is calculated at query time and is not stored in the database.

Workflow transition

The connection between two activities that carries the target population; a downstream activity runs only when all inbound transitions are activated.

Incremental query activity

A workflow activity that selects records whose date field is newer than a value memorized from the previous run, enabling delta processing.

AND-join activity

A workflow activity that waits for every inbound branch to complete and then outputs a single merged transition.

vars versus instance.vars

vars is local to one workflow instance, task.vars is local to one activity, and instance.vars is shared across workflows on the server.

QueryDef operation

The attribute of a queryDef element selecting the action, such as select, get, count, update, insert, or delete, executed by ExecuteQuery().

sqlSelect function

A server-side JavaScript function that runs a SELECT statement and returns an array of row objects; sqlExec runs statements that return no rows.

logInfo in workflows

A JavaScript function that writes an informational entry to the workflow journal; logWarning and logError write warning and error entries.

Workflow variable interpolation

The $(vars.name) syntax injects a workflow variable value into a query condition or SQL statement before that statement executes.

Personalization output tag

The <%= expression %> tag inserts the evaluated expression into delivery content, while plain <% code %> only executes JavaScript without output.

Content block include

The <%@ include view="name" %> directive inserts a reusable content block, stored in nms:contentBlock, into a delivery or web page.

Conditional content

JavaScript if and else blocks wrapped in <% %> tags select which HTML or text is sent for each recipient at send time.

Additional data in delivery

Fields added on the delivery's Additional data tab are exposed through the targetData schema and can be personalized in content.

Target mapping

A delivery property linking the delivery to its targeting schema and defining the fields used for email address, first name, and similar attributes.

Delivery prepare step

The analysis phase that builds the target, applies typology rules, and personalizes content; it must succeed before Send can execute.

Mid-sourcing deployment

A deployment mode where deliveries are executed on a remote mid-sourcing instance reached through a configured external account.

Seed addresses

Test recipient addresses added to a delivery so they receive copies for rendering and deliverability checks; they are not target recipients.

SOAP session token

The value returned by Logon on xtk:session and passed as sessiontoken in later SOAP calls to authenticate the API request.

Federated Data Access

A feature that maps tables from an external database as schemas and queries them remotely without importing their rows into Campaign.

Import and export templates

Reusable definitions of file format, source or target schema, and field mapping used by the Import and Export activities and the client.

Message Center

A transactional messaging module that sends event-triggered messages through a dedicated execution instance, separate from bulk campaign sends.

Named rights

Privileges such as admin, workflow, webapp, and delivery assigned to operators or groups; they control platform functions rather than data access.

Security zone

A configuration restricting operator connections by IP address range and optionally by operator, checked when the user logs on.

Pressure typology rule

A rule limiting the number of messages a recipient can receive within a defined period, capping delivery pressure across campaigns.

Quarantine

A list of addresses that hard-bounced or complained; quarantined addresses are excluded from targeting until an operator releases them.

Web application preloading

A web app setting that loads an existing record into a form, typically using a recipient identifier passed in the URL.

ctx object

The context object available in web application page scripts; it exposes request parameters and session values to server-side JavaScript.

Web app form storage

The page step that writes submitted form fields to the targeting schema, creating or updating the corresponding record.

Web app captcha

An optional challenge on a web application page that blocks automated submissions by requiring entry of a human-readable code.
