Scheduling the Execution of Campaigns

Campaigns can be created and set up to execute according to a schedule.

CAUTION:  Do not perform this procedure if you already plan to schedule the parent stage for the same campaign. Doing so causes the campaign to be launched twice.

To schedule the execution of a campaign

1. Navigate to the Campaigns screen, and in the Campaign list, click the campaign name.
2. Select the Schedule view tab.
3. In the Schedule calendar, click the calendar icon in the day that the campaign starts.
4. In the activity form, in the Activity Type field, select Campaign Load and complete the remaining fields.

   NOTE:  Be sure to check the Active Flag for the scheduling to take effect. If the active flag is set, the campaign load launches as soon as the activity time arrives. If the active flag is not set, no execution occurs.

5. Click Save This One when you are ready to save the schedule.

   The campaign name and load time appear in the Schedule calendar. The calendar also reflects any recurrence of the activity.

6. Click New to create another activity.
7. In the activity form, in the Activity Type field, select Campaign Launch, and complete the remaining fields.

   Make sure to set the start time of the campaign launch activity so that the preceding campaign load activity completes before the corresponding campaign launch begins.

8. Verify that the Active Flag is set so that the scheduling takes effect.
9. Click Save This One when you are ready to save the schedule.

   The campaign name and launch time appear in the Schedule calendar. The calendar also reflects any recurrence of the activity.
