FAST SETUP TIPS FOR ADMINS

Campaign Calendar gives you a simple, intuitive way to share your Campaign schedule with your entire Salesforce user base without opening the Campaigns tab. Set-up tips:

1. Ensure each user has the "Marketing User" checkbox enabled.

2. Set “Read” access on Campaign object for users outside Marketing. This ensures minimum profile permissions.

3. Add the Campaign Calendar tab to your User’s default Applications (Campaigns tab is not required).

NOTE: If you enabled new Profiles after your initial installation, you may need to manually enable the appropriate Apex Classes and Visualforce Pages located at the bottom of the profile.
