G DATA Phishing Simulation

Select email templates

Template editing window for G DATA Phishing Simulation

When you open the Templates tab within a campaign for the first time, you are asked whether you would like to use the default configuration.

Select default templates

If you want to use the G DATA preset or replace only a single template, it is recommended that you click the button Start with a G DATA preset. In the next step, we will display the templates we have selected directly in your selection pane.

Otherwise, you can use the button Assemble campaign yourself. In this case, you start with an empty selection pane and select the four templates that you want to use for this campaign from a large pool.

You can reset your preset to the G DATA preset at any time later.

The preset for your campaign can now be modified or created on this editing page according to your requirements.

As you can see in the screenshot above, the editing area is divided into two blocks. In the upper block —the template overview—(area outlined in gray in the screenshot), you can see the available templates. Here you can scroll through them, and view and select templates.

In the second block—the selection pane—(area outlined in yellow in the screenshot), you can see which templates have already been selected for your campaign. Each campaign requires four templates. The campaign uses the email templates that are in the selection pane when it is started.
