Maintaining Integrity (A):Cloning directly from the original asset helps ensure that all settings and configurations are copied accurately. This minimizes the risk of introducing errors or corruption during manual recreation.
Customization is Key (C):While the core structure of the cloned program is replicated, certain elements need updating for clarity and accurate reporting:
Custom Tags: Tags help categorize and organize your programs. Adjust them to reflect the purpose of the cloned program.
Period Costs: Ensure period costs are entered for the correct time period of the cloned program to maintain accurate budgeting and ROI tracking.
Name: Use a descriptive and unique name to differentiate the cloned program from the original.
When cloning in Adobe Marketo Engage, it's important to follow certain best practices to ensure the integrity of your assets and programs12.
Clone from the original asset to avoid corruption in assets1: Cloning from the original asset helps to maintain the integrity of the asset and avoid any potential corruption that might occur if you were to clone from a copy1. This ensures that your cloned asset is an exact replica of the original, which can be particularly useful if you want to use the same asset in multiple programs1.
Update custom tags, period costs, and name of the cloned program1: After cloning a program, it's important to update the custom tags, period costs, and name of the cloned program1. This helps to keep your programs organized and allows you to track the performance of each program individually1. Note that period costs will not transfer over, so be sure to add that to your cloned program if you had one set in the original1.
While updating token names for the cloned program (option D) can be a good practice in some cases, it's not generally considered a best practice when cloning in Adobe Marketo Engage1
