I'm relatively new to ofbiz and I am trying to understand various functions. If I add a Marketing Campaign, there are a couple of things I don’t understand.
The first is "Assign Type". I see the drop down is U, Y, N. While I can try to interpret this I was wondering if someone could give me a brief on what this function is for and what the choices mean. Next is assigned User and group. Is there a particular reason that this is just a regular form fill. Does it assume you know the exact user name or group to assign it to? Is it worth linking this to actual user/groups so that you can choose specifics? Third is concerning Parent Campaign ID. I am not sure if this is a bug or designed this way but if you choose a parent campaign when setting up a new campaign it does not seem to be saved anywhere. Am I missing something? Next is Description and Campaign Summary. I would think that they are one in the same but obviously, someone believes they should be different fields. Can I ask why? I am just trying to find the intent of the fields and it is not to question the usability. My last question is concerning the status drop down. At the very top of the form we have a "Campaign Status" field and my feeling is that this is a redundant feature but I assume that the developers had a good reason for including it in the first place. With that in mind, could someone try to clarify this for me? Thanks to all for taking the time to read this and I would appreciate any response. As is true for anything, there is a learning curve and understanding the terminology and used of these functions will help me not to screw up what is otherwise a brilliant app. Cheers... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/NOOB-Questions-about-Marketing-Campaigns-tf3497151.html#a9767983 Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
