Coordinate a release with a Campaign

A Campaign coordinates published content, timing, and destinations in one release. Each content block becomes a schedule for its selected screens or Display Groups. Use a Campaign when several schedule changes should go live together; use Schedules to manage a schedule on its own.

Build a Campaign draft

Section titled “Build a Campaign draft”

An Owner, Administrator, or Editor can create and edit a Campaign. An Owner or Administrator can submit or publish it.

  1. Open Presentations > Campaigns, then select Create campaign.
  2. Name the Campaign. In its draft, set a timezone and optional Campaign start and end.
  3. Under Content blocks, select Add block. Choose a published Playlist or Layout, then choose Fixed time or Weekly window and set the block’s dates, times, timezone, and priority.
  4. Under Destinations, select Add destination and choose the screens or Display Groups that should receive the release.
  5. Select Save draft, then select Preflight and resolve any errors it reports.
  6. Select Submit / publish. Follow the submission status if content review is enabled for the installation.

Preflight checks the referenced content, schedule windows, and destination membership before publishing changes to schedules. For a Campaign that reaches more than 10 screens, schedule-overlap checks sample 10 screens; Preflight still validates all destinations and content references. Review any sampling warning and verify the affected screens’ schedules separately.

What publication changes

Section titled “What publication changes”

Each release has an immutable record of the Campaign draft, its destinations, and the published content revisions selected for its blocks. If a selected Playlist or Layout changes while the Campaign is under review, Tilecast rejects that publication; refresh the draft and submit it again. Publishing a new Campaign release replaces the schedules created by its previous release. Playlist and Layout changes are published from their own editors.

Archiving a Campaign stops its schedules and can’t be undone. Check the release and its destinations before selecting Archive.
