Convert Campaigns Proposals to Campaigns
To convert a Campaigns proposal to a campaign:
Static Campaigns
- Locate the proposal.
- In Operations, click Charting.
- Choose a filter on the left hand side to narrow down and therefore speed up your search request.
- In this case, select Campaign Status for your search filter.
- Proposal
- Limited Hold
- Unlimited Hold
- Contract Pending
- Contracted
- Cancelled
- Click Search.
- Once the proposal or contract has been located, click the record.
- Click the button, then select Change Campaign Status from the drop-down menu.
- Select the Contracted radio button. Click OK. A confirmation request is displayed.
- Click OK.
If you viewed the campaign recently, it might be in the recently viewed entries beneath the campaign tile. Click the recently viewed entry. If not, click the Campaigns tile to show the filter search screen.
The specific options at your company may differ, but the default options are:

The records window on the right refreshes to show proposals only.
This opens the campaign record in a new window. To edit a campaign record, click the icon. The fields below it become editable.
This functionality differs when converting a proposal to a live campaign. In this case, you cannot directly edit the fields. The reason for this difference is that making this change allocates resources. As such, the interface forces multiple confirmations to prevent accidental changes.
This presents the Change Campaign Status dialogue box.
The system proceeds to change the status of inventory that was included in this proposal from maybe available to sold. Once the contract has been made active, it cannot be reverted to a proposal again. The campaign may only be placed on hold, pending or cancelled.
Other Campaign Lifecycle Statuses
These are informational fields only but do not reserve faces.
