Campaigns – The Overview tab
Introduction
The Campaign Overview tab is a valuable tool for managing social media campaigns. The purpose of this tab is it allows users to set up the main settings for a campaign, including adding a name, description, and tags.
Using the Campaign Overview tab
When you add a campaign, the first tab you’ll see is the Campaign Overview tab. All three types of campaigns—Standard, Volume, and Scheduled—can use it.
1. Give your campaign a name first. It is ideal to select a name that is suggestive of your niche so you can quickly understand what the focus of that campaign is.
2. Your campaign may have a tag. When sorting through the list of campaigns, especially if you have many campaigns, this will be useful. Based on the tags you gave each of your campaigns, you’ll be able to organize them into groups.
3. These are all-inclusive choices that will be used for all of the posts in this campaign.
4. Click the ADVANCED SETTINGS button to view the global campaign settings, including specific options for each supported social network.
5. If you want to copy certain settings to other campaigns of the same type, click the COPY SETTINGS button.
6. Finally, start your campaign by toggling the switch ON. To stop the campaign, just click the switch again to bring it to a stopped status.
