Running a Campaign

Run or schedule a campaign from the Overview tab.

Your campaign must be saved before it can be processed.

If you do not see the Start button, you do not have the relevant permissions to run a campaign. Contact your system administrator.

Procedure

1. To run a campaign immediately, click Start.
2. To run a scheduled campaign, where the start date is later than today:
   1. Save the campaign.
   2. Click Start to change the campaign status to Active, although it will not start processing until the specified date.

Running a Campaign with a static audience

Tracks do not process immediately when the campaign has started, this is dependent on the time specified by the Polling Attribute on the time item within a track. For example, a Start Track with a 'Do immediately' time item is set to process by default ten minutes (600 seconds) after the campaign starts. To change the Polling Attribute:

Procedure

1. Click in the drag and drop space on the track Timeline.

2. Click Attributes, which is situated at the top of the screen above the ribbon bar, and select one of the following options:

• Enable Polling: enables polling on the track. If this item is not selected, the track will be ignored.

• Poll every: specify how often, in seconds, that you want the Track to process. Changing this for a Start Track with a 'Do immediately' timeline on a static audience will alter the time the audience is processed.
• Occurrences: these options are redundant, leave the default option All selected.
