To organize and link individual marketing campaigns together, use parent and child
relationships to associate campaigns in a campaign hierarchy. You can think of a hierarchy as a
family tree. Metrics from child campaigns roll up to the parent, so you can access data for
individual campaigns or in aggregate. You can build a hierarchy to focus on marketing channels,
fiscal periods, long-term projects, or any other factor that makes sense for your business. A
campaign hierarchy can support up to five levels.

Before users can create a hierarchy, an admin adds the Parent Campaign field to campaign
records. To build a tree of campaigns, a user enters the name of the campaign into the Parent
Campaign field and repeats the process to create family units.
- A campaign hierarchy can support only one currency in its child campaigns.
- A parent campaign’s statistics include aggregate values based on all its child campaigns,
regardless of the current user’s sharing settings. To limit what’s shown to users, an admin
can hide fields from the Campaign Hierarchy related list.
- A user without access to a particular campaign can’t access its detail page from the
Campaign Hierarchy related list.
- All fields and values remain available in reports, even if items have been hidden on
campaign records.
