Can anyone explain how the Fields Active, Status and Start/End Dates in Campaigns are used?  It seems like they have little more use than as reporting parameters as I can continue to add contacts/leads to campaigns even if the campaign is no longer active, is in a completed status, or is beyond the dates.  BTW we only use Sales Cloud, not Marketing Cloud.

Thank you in advance. #Sales Cloud #Campaigns #Campaign Members

    Yeah, that's pretty much it (the way you've described it) 

     

    However those fields can certainly be "put to work" in Validation Rules that prevent users from adding a lead or Contact to a Campaign after the End Date, or before the Campaign has been "activated", or creating a Record Triggered Flow that automatically changes the Campaign Status to Closed/Inactive after the End Date (we do this in my own org).
