Hi Ruth, Nice trick ;-)

But, here's a little trick I learned about the OFBiz community and this mailing list in particular: if you say something is so with conviction, for example: "DataSources are not used by the Marketing Application so just ignore them", then someone is sure to fire back and prove you wrong....Hopefully, whoever put together the Marketing Application will prove me wrong and tell us all how "DataSources" are used :-) Given that: A use for "DataSource(s)" is to identify the location or source of something - like a sales lead. For example, in the SFA Manager Application leads may be associated with a source (or where they came from) such as a marketing campaign, a phone call or email. To see this, create a new lead and scroll down to the bottom of the page to reveal the "Lead Source" drop-down menu. DataSource(s) appear in this drop-down menu. Perhaps you create a new lead source using the Marketing Application and then have it show up for inclusion in the SFA Manager Application drop-down menu? Just a guess. Hope that helps.
