If you have permission to create programs, you can add a program. As part of adding a program, you select a template set up by an IBM® Marketing Operations administrator.

After you create a program, you can start the program at any time. Starting the program makes it active and changes the status of the program to In Progress.

IBM® Marketing Operations organizes programs in views.

You can also access the different views of programs using the Actions menu. It contains links to each of the program views. In any view, you can change the sort order by clicking on the column you want to sort by. Click the column a second time to reverse the sort order.

On the program Summary tab, IBM® Marketing Operations lists summary information about a program, such as status and security policy. By default, the Summary tab for the program displays when you select a program from the Program List page. Any projects linked to the program are listed on the Summary tab as well.

At the bottom of the Summary tab, the Supporting Projects and Requests section displays information about all child projects for the program. This list shows the name of the project, the name of the project owners, the project ID, the date and time when the last person updated the project, the target start and end dates of the project, and the project status.
