Hopefully someone else will have more time to answer this in detail... especially anyone that has worked with it recently.
In general the best way to find out what something means and/or is used for is to look at the data model (Entity Reference pages in WebTools, or just the entitymodel*.xml files), and to search the code base for the specific field and entity names related to the page/ form/service/etc that you are looking at. In this case you'd be looking at the MarketingCampaign entity, and fields like parentCampaignId, etc.

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 whatthis 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 sothat 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 isnot 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 toclarify this for me?Thanks to all for taking the time to read this and I would appreciate anyresponse. As is true for anything, there is a learning curve andunderstanding the terminology and used of these functions will help me notto 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#a9767983Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
