HCL Marketing Operations User Guide
With HCL® Marketing Operations, you organize the people, tasks, and budget for marketing programs, while you reduce costs and time to market.
Projects
A project organizes all the information that is related to develop and run one or more related marketing initiatives. Projects contain general information, resources, and attachments for the marketing initiative. Projects also typically organize the people who work on the marketing initiative, including who completes which tasks, and the timeline to complete the tasks. Projects can also include budget information. Monitoring features ensure that everyone knows whether the project is completed on time.
About projects and project requests
Your permission settings determine whether you create projects or project requests. If you do not have permission to create projects, you submit a project request to someone who has the necessary permissions.
About request statuses
Project requests have a different set of statuses from other marketing objects: draft, submitted, returned, and accepted.
