Campaigns

A Campaign bundles one or more layouts into a single schedulable unit. Instead of scheduling each layout against a screen, you schedule the campaign and the player works through its layouts in order. Campaigns also support ad-style targeting with plays, budget, or impression goals.

How to get there: Sidebar → Campaigns, or /campaigns.

A simple table — no folder tree. The header has one action: + New Campaign.

ColumnWhat it shows
NameCampaign name. Click any row to open the campaign detail page.
Typelist or ad (md+).
LayoutsNumber of layouts in the campaign (md+).
DurationTotal runtime — e.g. 45s or 2m; when zero (md+).
PlaysLifetime play count, or (lg+).
SpendLifetime spend in USD (formatted as $1234.50), or (lg+).
TagsComma-separated tag list (lg+).

The Plays and Spend columns are only relevant to ad-type campaigns; for list campaigns they typically show .

When you create or edit a campaign, you pick one of:

A simple ordered playlist of layouts. The player works through them top to bottom. Settings for list campaigns:

FieldDefaultWhat it does
List Play OrderBlockBlock plays each layout to completion before moving on. Round rotates one item from each at a time (interleaves layouts).
Cycle PlaybackNoWhen Yes, the player runs the layouts as a fixed-length cycle.
Play Count(empty)Number of plays per cycle. Only used when Cycle Playback is Yes.

A campaign that runs against a target — useful for ad-style buys. Settings for ad campaigns:

FieldWhat it does
Target TypePlays, Budget, or Impressions.
TargetNumeric goal — number of plays, budget amount, or impression count.
Start DateWhen the campaign becomes eligible to play.
End DateWhen the campaign stops playing.

Click + to open Create Campaign. The dialog has two tabs:

  • Basic — Name (required) and Campaign Type.
  • Settings — fields shown depend on the type chosen on the Basic tab. Switching type clears the irrelevant fields.

Hit Create Campaign. Layouts are added on the detail page afterwards — opening a row takes you there.

Open a campaign by clicking its row. The detail page is where you add and reorder layouts, set per-layout day-parts, and view performance metrics for ad campaigns.

The list page itself does not let you edit campaign membership.

Right-click a row for:

ActionNotes

Copy CampaignServer-side copy. You’re prompted for a new name (defaults to “Copy of …”).
DeleteTwo-step delete. Layouts inside the campaign are not deleted.

Select rows with the checkboxes. Bulk Delete is available; failures roll forward (no rollback) and a summary toast shows the result.

  • The page appears only when your role includes campaign access.
