Campaign groups

If you have a large number of campaigns, you may find it helpful to organize them into campaign groups. Using campaign groups, you can perform suspend and resume operations on a number of related campaigns as a single action in the dashboard. Also, groups make it easier to navigate through a long list of campaigns. Campaign groups are always shown at the top of the Dashboard in the order of creation. Campaigns that are not assigned to a group are shown below them.

Here's a dashboard showing two campaign groups called East Coast Group and West Coast Group. Note that each campaign group is surrounded by a green box.

For more information about using dashboards, see Monitor and manage campaigns.

Note: Not all users can create and modify campaign groups. If you do not have access to the Controls tab, you cannot create and modify campaign groups.

Create a campaign group

You can create any number of campaign groups. Each campaign group can include up to 30 campaigns. After you create a campaign group, it is visible to and editable by all users. A campaign can be assigned to only one group at a time.

  1. Select the Controls tab, then select Campaign Groups.
  2. Click Add. This displays the New Campaign Group dialog.

  3. For Id, enter a unique ID, and for Name enter a display name.
  4. Click Save. This creates an empty campaign group.
  5. Click the panel for Add/Remove Campaigns. This displays a list of campaigns that are available to be added to the group.
  6. Use the check boxes to select the campaigns you want to add. Here's an example with two campaigns added to the group:

  7. Click Dashboard to view the new campaign group.

Modify and delete campaign groups

You can add or remove campaigns from a campaign group at any time. You can also delete campaign groups that are no longer needed. Deleting a campaign group does not delete the campaigns that belong to it.

  1. Select Controls > Campaign Groups.
  2. Click the name of the campaign group you want to modify. Then perform one or more of the following operations as needed.
  • To change the Id or Name of the group, click Edit. Modify the fields as needed.
  • To add or remove campaigns, click Add/Remove Campaigns. Select or clear the check boxes as needed.
  • If you want to move a campaign to a different campaign group, remove it from its current group and add it to the new group.
  • To delete the campaign group, click Delete. You will see a confirmation dialog. Click Delete.
