Marketing Campaign	Click Search to open the Marketing Campaign Lookup and select the marketing campaign to associate with the lead. Note the following: If the lead record has one marketing campaign listed on its Marketing Campaigns tab, that campaign displays here by default. If the lead record has more than one marketing campaign listed on its Marketing Campaigns tab, this field is left blank by default. If you convert the lead from its location on the Leads tab of a campaign record in the Marketing Campaigns Info Center, that campaign record displays here. You cannot change the record. Vision uses the campaign record as the campaign record for which it calculates Converted Clients, Converted Contacts, and Opportunities on that campaign record's General tab.
