If you click on "Campaigns" from main menu, you will be navigated to Campaigns Overview screen.
To create a new campaign:
Click on Campaigns from main menu
Click on Create Campaign button
A pop-up will appear to give a name on your campaign. Click on Create button and you will be navigated to Campaign Creation Screen.
When you click on a folder you can see all campaigns within the folder along with some basic information for each campaign. Campaign information includes:
Campaign Name: the name you give on your campaigns
Data Started: date you started the campaign
Groups: the number of link groups the campaign includes
Tasks: total number of tasks (websites to post)
Scheduled: if campaign is scheduled to run on a specific date/time
Status: status of the campaign.
A campaign can be in different status depending on campaign state.
Campaign status depicts the state of a campaign. A campaign can be created (idle) or can be saved incomplete (draft). After the campaign creation, a campaign can be started (started), and then either paused (paused) or run until it's finished (finished).
Keep in mind that an incomplete/draft campaign (a campaign with not all required data set) cannot start/run. You will first need to edit the campaign and complete all steps before running it.
On the table below you can find the different campaign statuses/states and what each mean.
idle
A new campaign that has been created and saved.
draft
A new campaign that has been saved before completely finishing all steps.
When you create a campaign, there are some creation steps and some required fields. You can exit/save the campaign before completing everything. This created a "draft" campaign. A draft campaign is incomplete and need to be fully completed before running it.
started
When you start a campaign and while the campaign is running, it is in "started" status.
A started campaign can be paused.
paused
A running campaign be paused and you can continue to run the campaign later.
finished
When all campaign tasks finish, it becomes "finished".
Keeping your campaigns inside separate is a good practice. Using folders can help you manage and organize your campaigns based on your websites, clients or projects. For example you can have a folder where you keep all your campaigns for a specific client or website.
To create a new folder click on "Create Folder" button located on top left.
A new pop-up window will appear to give a name for your folder.
Every time you create a new campaign, the campaign will be saved within the folder that has been selected. In the next image for example, you can see that if you create a new campaign it will saved within the folder "client A" which is currently selected.
You can also move campaigns into other folders. You can either move a single campaign using hover button "Move to Folder".
You can also move multiple campaigns into a folder by selecting multiple campaigns and then using "Move to Folder" option from the burger button (on the top-right).
Below is a clip demonstrating how to create a new folder and moves your campaigns inside.
Import/export is a convenient way to transfer selected campaigns into other installations. You can also export your campaigns in case you want to keep a backup of them.
To export: select your campaigns using checkboxes and then use the burger button on the top right. From there you will find an option to export campaigns.
To import a campaign: use the "Import" button and select any previously exported campaign.
Many times a user needs to create multiple campaign with minor differences or even create copies of campaigns to use them as basic templates to built a new one.
To duplicate a campaign, use "Duplicate" hover button that appears when you hover a campaign from the list.
