Data Sources

Data Sources replace Campaign Sources for Marketing but work in a similar way to campaign sources, e.g. you can filter to a group of contacts, accounts, profiles or other object and then add them to a Data Source. 

Or visit the Data sources list and create your Data source (see View Data Sources list below)

Advanced Options will allow you to set whether this data source is to include or exclude the records from your Email. 

You can also allocate this data source to a pre-existing folder at this point if you wish.
