Activating/deactivating a campaign	Top  Previous  Next

Activating a Campaign From the Administration Menu, click on Campaign Manager > Edit current campaigns A list of current campaigns is displayed. To activate a campaign click on the word Activate under the Action column. Before a campaign becomes live (i.e. appears on departmental home page) it must be activated. However, if you are creating a 'Data only' report and you already have the data available on the system you do not need to activate the campaign. Simply create a 'Data only' campaign with an end date of yesterday and proceed straight to the Report Manager. Deactivating a Campaign From the Administration Menu, click on Campaign Manager > Edit current campaigns > Manage > Deactivate Reasons for deactivating a campaign: · You have setup a campaign which is no longer required   · You have setup a text based campaign containing the wrong text elements and you need to change the requested text elements   WARNING: When a campaign is deactivated any text element entries associated with that campaign are deleted. Data, however, is never affected by any action through the Campaign Manager. The decision to deactivate a campaign assumes that the current text entries previously associated with that campaign are no longer desirable. It is advisable to review a campaign thoroughly before activating it. You can however extend/shorten a campaign through Manage > Extend/shorten.
