(TABMRW) Marketing Worlds

This table is used to tie items and locations to the Marketing workbench. The system generates reports based on loan data to provide insight into customer borrowing, which can be leveraged in marketing. In order to connect customer borrowing habits with the marketing workbench, Marketing worlds must be defined. Each world can be divided into departments, using the (TABMRA) Marketing departments table. Each shelving location should be assigned to a marketing world or department.

The marketing workbench will analyze monthly customer lending data and create customer labels for the primary, secondary, and tertiary world for each customer.

To create or edit a marketing world:

In the Wise configuration manager, go to OCLC Wise > Items and locations > Local location management > System tables > (TABMRW) Marketing worlds.
Click New to create a new world, or Detail to edit an existing world. The Marketing worlds window opens.

Click OK to save.

(TABMRA) Marketing Departments

Each world from the (TABMRW) Marketing Worlds represents one or more departments. Each department receives a code with a value of 01 to 99. For users of the Marketing workbench, this code will determine in which department a customer borrows. Based on this, a customer label will be created for each department that is borrowed. In this case, a maximum of 10 sections will be labeled.

The relationship between a marketing department and a borrower is created based on the location where an item was placed at the time of lending. Each shelf must include which marketing department it belongs to.

After the marketing department is assigned to a shelf, the web catalog can use this criteria to determine items related to the workbench.

To create or edit a marketing department:

In the Wise configuration manager, go to OCLC Wise > Items and locations > Local location management > System tables > (TABMRA) Marketing departments.
Click New to create a new world, or Detail to edit an existing world. The Genre window opens.

Enter marketing department information. If you are editing an existing department, select Change to edit the information.

Field	Description
Type	Automatically filled by the table (MRW).
World	The world to which this marketing department belongs, select from the drop-down list.
Code	A unique, 2-digit code for the marketing department.

Click OK to save.
