Campaign/flight/banner hierarchy
To enable this module for free, contact support.
After you enable the module, a Campaigns (NEW) tab is added to your account for all users. All your existing campaigns remain on the Campaigns (OLD) tab.
A new item, flights, is added to the hierarchy, which should make it appear as follows:
. This way, some settings move from the campaign level to the flight level, allowing you to:- Fine-tune campaigns.
- Place multiple flights with cross-placement frequency.
Statistical reports are available for each level of the hierarchy.
- Statuses in the hierarchy
-
Active: Default status when adding a campaign, flight, or banner. You can change it.
Paused: Interim status. For example, this status is set for the duration of video conversion or if you need to stop serving ads but don't want to finish your campaign.
Completed: Automatically set upon reaching the completion date, a specified date, or the limit on impressions, clicks, or active events.
Note. Campaigns can be reactivated within 90 days of their completion date. After this period, you can't activate the campaign again and can only create a new one.
The paused and completed statuses prevent all objects at lower levels from running ads. For example, if a flight is in paused status, no banners created in this flight are served, even if they have active status. This status doesn't affect banners in other campaign flights.
