Waves in an Activity
A wave is a drop date for an activity, such as the date on which a mailing is sent.
Your company has stores in several cities. Each fall you promote an annual sale by mailing a flyer to your preferred customers. Because of the distances between the locations of your stores, you must mail the flyers on three separate days to ensure they will be delivered before the sale begins. In the activity for the annual sale, you create three waves to identify the drop dates for the mailing.
