Create a new manager root

Current version: 10.4

A manager root contains all the settings that control how users work with the Email Experience Manager. A manager root is created when you configure the EXM default settings for the first time after installation. If you need more than one manager root, for example, in a multisite environment, you can create a manager root manually.

Note

The following campaigns, which are automatically created when you create a new manager root, are marked as service messages by default:

  • Automated notification

  • Subscription notification

  • Subscription confirmation

  • Unsubscribe notification

  • Dispatch completed notification

To create a new manager root:

  1. In the content tree, right-click the Content item, click Insert, Insert from Template.

    When you create a new email campaign, select the manager root from which you want to send email messages using the drop-down list in the left corner of the dashboard. Having multiple manager roots enables you to create email campaigns that use different branding standards.
