Overview, To-do Lists, and Discussions

Overview

All the information about the project can be viewed from the Overview page. It includes basic information such as the objective, type, owner, list of activities, pending tasks, and a timeline.
  1. Timeline: All the activities that are scheduled for a marketing project will be displayed chronologically. Various marketing activities can also be created directly from the timeline. You can select an activity from the timeline to view the information about it in detail.
  2. Activities: A list of all the activities that are part of a marketing project will be displayed. You can also view stats on these campaigns such as the number of campaigns launched, scheduled, or pending.
  3. Pending Tasks: The total number of pending tasks in a marketing project will be displayed here. These pending tasks can be categorized as Open, In Progress, and On Hold. You can click the values in this section to view all the tasks.
