Everyone works under their own login, so every change to a campaign has a name on it

Criteria are metadata tags attached to players, screens and frames that enable campaign targeting. Instead of selecting individual screens for each campaign, you assign criteria once and then target all matching screens by their tags.

What happens to campaigns already targeting the screen: nothing, until you say so. A campaign stores the concrete list of screens it plays on together with a frequency for each; the criteria you used to build that list are not kept on the campaign. Attaching a criterion therefore does not pull the screen into a campaign that is already running, and detaching one does not remove it. To pick up new matches, open the campaign, run its By criteria step again and save.

Criteria attached to a player describe the hardware and its site: the model, the mounting, the branch, the service region. They are read where you act on devices rather than on airtime:

• the Players list filters by them and shows them in the Criteria column;
• a device command — brightness, volume, language, restart, reboot, shutdown — can be addressed to “every player that has all of these criteria and none of those” instead of to a hand-picked list of players;
• integrations resolve a player set from criteria through the API.

The Multiple campaigns wizard creates a batch of campaigns from an Excel file with a targeting program: one row per campaign with frame GIDs, dates, frequencies, and media file names.

The wizard reports how many campaigns were created. All of them are saved as drafts grouped into a placement (or Without placement if you chose so). Review the drafts and click Activate to launch them all.

If some data cannot be resolved, the wizard reports it before anything is created:

• List of missing frames and files — frame GIDs or media file names from the Excel file that were not found.
• Unrecognized frames — rows whose frame GIDs could not be parsed, with their Position in the file.

Fix the Excel file or upload the missing media, then re-upload.

Step 2: Creation:

Check for overbooking. When enabled, the wizard verifies that activating the new campaigns will not exceed the available frequency on the targeted frames. Campaigns that would cause overbooking are listed under List of campaigns with exceeding frequency and are left as drafts. The option is off by default, and the wizard remembers your choice.
