| Use this session to maintain and display feature definitions. Features serve as the basis for the selections that can be made to direct the marketing efforts. They can be connected to: Trade relations or their contacts. Marketing projects or their contacts. Activities. Note If the activities are moved to the history, the features are moved as well. If a feature is of the Option type, fill the options in the Options by Feature Definition (tdsmi0151m000) session. In the Letters (tdsmi1150m000) session and the Flexible Printing (tdsmi2410m100) session, you can make a layout for a standardized letter. For example, you can use the feature definitions and the tables to enter a standard salutation.
