Hi,
I am trying out the Marketing application using the trunk version, and needs some clarification on the following fields: 1) What is the purpose of the Start Date field when there is a From Date field? 2) Shouldn't Converted Leads field be auto-calculated by OFBiz? 3) What is the purpose of the Num Sent field? Number of Emails Sent? 4) It seems that since there is a Status field, the Is Active field is redundant? 5) What is the difference between the Estimated Cost and the Budgeted Cost? Shouldn't the Estimated Cost field be placed before the Budgeted Cost field? Regards, James |
can anyone helps with these questions?

as you can see there are no question to be seen.
it is best to include any previous emails you are referring to.\ james_sg sent the following on 2/8/2010 6:47 AM: > can anyone helps with these questions? |
Yes, I noticed that too.
Some persons use the Nabble forum and seem to think that we all do. This is not true, I guess most of us are simply using their email client... Please, add, at least, a snippet of the previous message to allow comprehension... (you may use the quote feature in Nabble...)

Hi all,
My apologies. Below is my original question: I am trying out the Marketing application using the trunk version, and needs some clarification on the following fields: 1) What is the purpose of the Start Date field when there is a From Date field? 2) Shouldn't Converted Leads field be auto-calculated by OFBiz? 3) What is the purpose of the Num Sent field?

Getting the Volume one of the Data model book would help about data.
Ofbiz was setup to be everything to everyone, so there may be features you don't think necessary that someone else does. 1) The start date lets you setup a campaign before hand then it will activate on that date. the From date is when you setup the campaign. 2) what do you mean Auto-Calculated. 3) not sure would have to look at services that use that field. you can use the artifact and search on the entity that has that field. 4) could be have not looked at it for a while. 5) You set a budget, then may put in estimate, if the estimate is over the budget then you get a warning. not sure if the code is there to support it. james_sg sent the following on 2/8/2010 5:30 PM: > Hi all, > > My apologies.

Hi,
I have attached a screenshot. 1) Since the From Date field is together with the Thru Date, can i assume they are for the period of the campaign? 2) I mean shouldn't the number of converted leads be reported by ofBiz instead of being updated by the end user? 5) Will check the Data Model Book too Regards, James

UI are generated by Widgets and Ftls.
they typically take the entity and display as the entity is laid out. this a good place to get ofbiz specific info http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Home http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/entity.html http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Understanding+the+OFBiz+Widget+Toolkit james_sg sent the following on 2/9/2010 12:18 AM: > Hi, > > I have attached a screenshot. > > http://n4.nabble.com/file/n1474049/AddMarketingCampaign.gif > > 1) Since the From Date field is together with the Thru Date, can i assume > they are for the period of the campaign? > 2) I mean shouldn't the number of converted leads be reported by ofBiz > instead > of being updated by the end user? > 5) Will check the Data Model Book too > > Regards, > James > > > > BJ Freeman wrote: >> Getting the Volume one of the Data model book would help about data. >> Ofbiz was setup to be everything to everyone, so there may be features >> you don't think necessary that someone else does. >> >> 1) The start date lets you setup a campaign before hand then it will >> activate on that date. the From date is when you setup the campaign. >> 2) what do you mean Auto-Calculated. >> 3) not sure would have to look at services that use that field. you can >> use the artifact and search on the entity that has that field. >> 4) could be have not looked at it for a while. >> 5) You set a budget, then may put in estimate, if the estimate is over >> the budget then you get a warning. not sure if the code is there to >> support it. >> >> >> >> james_sg sent the following on 2/8/2010 5:30 PM: >>> Hi all, >>> >>> My apologies.
