The advertising campaign`s status reflects the state of campaign at the moment. Statuses are needed to make a campaign management more comfortable for you.

An advertising campaign may have one of the following statuses:

• Draft
• Planned
• Active
• Paused
• Stopped
• Archived

Draft

While creating a campaign, it is automatically given the “Draft” status.

The campaign stays draft until you add devices connected to a player (to get to know how to connect devices with a player, read the “First steps and device connection” article, the information about adding a device to a campaign is given in “Campaigns” chapter (step №9)).

Planned

The campaign is staying “Planned” until it is time specified in the campaign`s schedule (figure 1).

If necessary, pause the campaign in two clicks, click on the “Save” button in dropdown list, then on “Pause”.

This opportunity is needed to quickly turn on and turn off the campaign`s broadcasting (including planned). Your content will be uploaded to the device and the broadcast starts only after you activate the campaign. Click on “Save” button in the dropdown list, then click on “Activate” to make your campaign active. 

Also you can remove the campaign from a campaigns` list to an archive. Click on “Save” button in the dropdown list, then click on “Archive”.

This is important: campaigns in archive can not be broadcasted.
