Configuration Options and Settings[edit | edit source]
The printing and downloading capabilities in ActiveCampaign come with specific options, especially concerning the format of the campaign being printed or downloaded. Users can choose between the following options in the Format dropdown:
- HTML - Ideal for those who want to retain the visual elements of the campaign.
- Text - Best for those who need a simplified, image-free version of the campaign.
Best Practices and Tips[edit | edit source]
1. **Choose the Right Format:** Utilize the HTML format if visuals are important for your presentation. Opt for the Text format when only the content is necessary, such as for archiving purposes.
2. **Preview Before Printing:** Always preview your campaign before proceeding to print, ensuring everything appears as intended.
3. **Adjust Print Settings:** Take time to adjust the print settings correctly in your browser to avoid wasting paper or ink.
4. **Share as Needed:** Consider downloading campaigns in both formats if you plan to share them with different audiences.
Common Use Cases with Examples[edit | edit source]
- **Stakeholder Presentations:** When needing to share upcoming campaigns during a board meeting, printing the campaign in the HTML format allows stakeholders to see graphics and layout directly. - **Archiving Campaigns:** If creating a record of past campaigns for future reference, downloading a text version offers a clean document without distractions.
