Object Types in Marmind
In Marmind, objects represent the core structural elements used for organizing, planning, and managing marketing activities. These objects form a hierarchical structure and are the foundation for collaboration, budgeting, tracking KPIs, and workflow automation.
Here are the main object types in Marmind:

In the copy mask, select which elements to include:
Sub-objects

Optionally, rename the copied object.

Important note: Budget, costs, notifications and comments on assets or To-Dos are never copied.
Move Objects
To move an object into another (e.g., move a campaign into a different project):
Select the object in the navigation tree.
Open the "Next Steps" menu and choose "Move".
A new input window will open – choose the target node/object from the tree.

Select the object in the navigation tree.
Go to the "Next Steps" menu and select "Delete".
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Important Note: Deleted objects cannot be recovered. All related content (e.g. assets, sub-objects, To-Dos) will be permanently removed.
Object Status
Every object (campaign, project, or action) can be assigned a status to improve planning clarity. Marmind offers five predefined status categories:
Plan
In Progress
On Hold
Closed
Canceled
These statuses help structure and evaluate your plans.
You can find the object status when clicking on the respective object, the Detail Module and then clicking on “Status”:
Note: You might have custom statuses in your Marmind system.
