Usage Note 51263: How calculated variables are created and used in SAS® Real-Time Decision Manager
Calculated variables can be created as part of almost every node that is available in SAS Real-Time Decision Manager:
- Start node – as part of error reply variables
- Filter node – as part of the variable used to do the filtering
- Branch node – as part of the variable used to do the branching
- Process/Score node – as an input variable to the process
- AB test node – as the "Path Key"
- Cross table node – as one of the table variables
- Reply node – as one of the reply variables, subject variables, contact history variable, input variable to the arbitration process, and input variable to the treatment campaign set
- Stage node – as input to the arbitration process and input variable to the treatment campaign set
- Subdiagram node – as an input variable to the sub–flow
- Confirm contact – as an input variable
- Update response node – as an input variable
- Business rules node – as an input variable
Although there is not a way to create a reusable calculated variables outside of a node, it is possible to reuse calculated variables within a campaign. Once a calculated variable is created, it can be referenced in downstream nodes. Also, calculated variables are brought along when copying or pasting a node from one campaign to another. They work in the new campaign as long as any variables that the calculated variable references are also available in the new campaign where it was pasted.
This paradigm is different from the calculated items that are available on selection campaigns in SAS® Marketing Automation. The primary difference is that calculated items reference variables that are global because they are derived from your business context's information map. The SAS Real-Time Decision Manager calculated variables reference other variables that are scoped to the campaign, such as campaign request variables, output variables from upstream nodes, and so on. The only variables that could be in a calculated variables with a more global scope are global variable and the current date/time variable.
