Make The Most Of Campaigns With Campaign Calendar

List Views

Whether you are rolling out Campaign Calendar to Marketing or your entire organization, the power of the calendar lies in your List Views. Create your list views according to how your company is organized: By product, geography, or channel. List views are a great way to provide selected information that is valuable to specific users. To create:

  1. Open the Campaigns tab in Salesforce.
  2. Create a new view:
    • Lightning: Click on the Settings icon in the page header and select New.
    • Classic: Click on Create New View at the top of the page.
  3.  Enter View Name and specify who can view it. In Lightning, click Save.
  4. Select to see All Campaigns.
  5. Add your filter criteria to create subsets of your campaign data. Common criteria include Type 'equals' Trade Shows or Type 'equals' Blog. Add custom field criteria if you track Channel,Product, or Region on your Campaigns. NOTE: We recommend using 'equals' instead of 'contains' for better results.
  6. Select Fields to Display.
  7. Restrict Visibility. This is a powerful step that makes the calendar relevant to the user. By selecting 'Visible to Certain Group of Users', you can display views based on a user's Role or Group.
