      Marketing Channels Defined

      How does Wicked Reports decide what gets added to different channels?

      When viewing your Channels report on the Mission Control Screen or selecting from a Quick Filter in the reports, it's common to wonder exactly what data is automatically added to these channels and categories.

      Below you will find the rules we use to put different data sets into these predefined channels and categories.
