The Campaigns List
In the Campaigns List tab you can create, delete and organise your campaigns into groups. You can also archive, edit, pause, and view statistics for individual or multiple campaigns.
Filtering the campaigns list
You can filter the campaigns list in several ways:
- Click on the calendar icon to choose a Date Range to show in the list.
- Select a group from the Groups drop-down to show in the list (See Campaign Groups below).
- Select a status in the Show Statuses drop-down to show in the list. Choose from Active, Paused or Archived.
- You can also search campaigns by Name, ID number, and Type (the name of the ad format it uses).
When you have chosen your filtering options, click the Apply button to the right of the filtering options. Click Reset Filters to start again.
Campaign Options
There are different options available on the Campaigns List:
Edit
This option allows you to go back to editing the campaign in question.
View Statistics
This option allows you to view the statistics for this campaign. This option will lead you to the Statistics menu with all the corresponding filters already applied.
Start / Pause Campaign
Depending on the Campaign Status, this option allows you to either start or pause a campaign.
Copy Campaign
This option allows you to copy/duplicate a campaign. When using it, there are two possibilities:
If you choose to keep the same ad format and creatives, the entire campaign will be duplicated. If you choose a new ad format and upload new creatives, you will first need to select the ad format you wish to create the campaign with. After confirming that you agree to the price being automatically updated if the original campaign price does not match, or beat, the minimum price allowed, the campaign will be duplicated and you will be able to then edit it as you wish.
Archive Campaign
This option will archive the campaign in question.
Campaign Groups
The groups feature allows you to organize campaigns and put them into groups based on your chosen criteria. It is especially useful if there are a large number of campaigns that you need to keep track of.
You can group campaigns by country, type of product, device targeted, and many other criteria.
Toggling between group and non-group view
You can choose whether or not you wish to see the groups panel on the left side of the screen, using the two buttons on the right of the filtering panel.
If your campaigns are organized into groups, you can choose which group of campaigns to show in the list by clicking on the group in the groups panel on the left.
Note: When you are in non-group view, there is a Groups column to the right of the Campaign name, showing what group each campaign is in. This will show No Group if the campaign is not in a group. You can toggle this on and off in the column settings.
By default, the groups panel will only show campaign groups that have at least one campaign in them. To view empty groups, tick the Show Empty Groups checkbox.
Creating a new group
To create a new group, click on the Campaigns tab. In the Campaign List section, click the NEW GROUP button.
Note: Keeping the group name short will ensure that it’s fully visible in the Campaigns List page.
Assigning a campaign to a group
When you click NEW CAMPAIGN in the Campaigns List tab to create a new campaign, you will see a drop-down list of all the available groups that you can assign it to, or choose No Group from the list. You can also move a campaign or campaigns to a group using the bulk update bar (See below).

The Campaigns List will show you the status of your campaigns in the Status column.
Note: Some of the statuses in the table below will only show if you have chosen to see them in the Show Statuses drop-down above the Campaigns List.
