An administrator at a global freight logistics company is configuring a Salesforce Campaign to track attendee interactions for an annual supply chain summit. The marketing team needs to differentiate between members who RSVP 'Attending' and members who actually complete physical check-in at the booth, while ensuring both interactions increment the total 'Value Responded' count on campaign reports. Which configuration step should the administrator take to meet this requirement?
- Add custom Campaign Member Status values for 'Attending' and 'Checked In', and select the 'Responded' checkbox for both values.Answer
- BAdd custom Campaign Member Status values for 'Attending' and 'Checked In', but leave the 'Responded' checkbox unchecked so default response counters remain unmodified.
- CConfigure Lead Conversion Field Mapping to map the custom Campaign Member Status picklist directly to custom Opportunity stage fields.
- DChange the Organization-Wide Default (OWD) sharing setting for Campaign Member to Public Read/Write/Transfer to recalculate responses.
Answer
Add custom Campaign Member Status values for 'Attending' and 'Checked In', and select the 'Responded' checkbox for both values.
In Salesforce Campaign Management, custom Campaign Member Status values determine how member activity is evaluated. Marking the 'Responded' checkbox on custom status values like 'Attending' and 'Checked In' signals to Salesforce that members with these statuses have actively engaged, thereby updating aggregate campaign response reports correctly.
