Marketing Manager Application

Stephen Rufle-2
I tried looking on the OfBiz website, but the docs seem a bit sparse
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Marketing+Manager+Role

In the "Marketing Manager Application" what are the "Data Source"
records used for? An example would be I see a DataSource
dataSourceId="GENERAL_MAILING", but how is that used in the wider system.

How could I change the system so when I modify an existing "Contact List
Comm Event
</marketing/control/EditContactListCommEvent?contactListId=9000&DONE_PAGE=FindContactListCommEvents?contactListId=9000>"
I am able switch the status back to in-progress. I want to do this
because I want to resend the same email again, but if it is not in the
in-progress status the automated email service does not find the record.
For my testing I have just been creating new test emails.

Where else (besides looking at the code) might I find info on this
particular application?

I'm afraid the documentation is older than that particular  
functionality, and could use some updating.

It may be that the current UI was designed to only send a certain  
message once. Part of that is probably related to keeping track of  
information about the sent message, though that isn't such a big deal  
now that a full CommunicationEvent record is being kept instead of  
just the association record to the ContactList that used to be used on  
its own.

In other words, the constraint that was driving this limitation may  
now be gone and it is probably an easy change to support that. I  
apologize for the lack of additional details as I haven't actually  
played with what kind of change would be required to do this.
