Changes to Dynamic Distribution Lists

In SDL Tridion 2009, a Dynamic Distribution List contained General, Details, and Categories and Keywords tabs. As of SDL Tridion 2011, a Dynamic Distribution List has, in addition, an Outbound E-mail tab which contains fields specific to Outbound E-mail which were previously on the General tab.

The Based on field in the General tab allows you to select a Segment, Address Book or Dynamic Address Book on which to base your Dynamic Distribution List:

  • If you select a Segment, the filters defined in the selected Segment are used in addition to other filters you may define and act on all Contacts within the Publication.
  • If you select a Dynamic Address Book, the filters defined in the selected Dynamic Address Book are used in addition to other filters you may define and act on Contacts within this Address Book.
  • If you select a regular Address Book, the filters you define act on Contacts within this Address Book.
