Campaign Configuration
NOTE: This part of the setup requires a user with admin rights within the Campaign Dashboards module
In order to create the campaign funnel and publisher reports a campaign must be configured within the Campaign Dashboards module. The campaign configuration is used to generate the data tables that the Power BI reports are build on.
Create Client
If the campaign is for a new client or this is the first campaign dashboard for the client then you will need to create the client first. This is done by clicking the New Client button on the client list page:
Create Campaign
Once the client exists in the module select the client and navigate to the Campaigns tab. Click the New Campaign button and enter a name in the following convention (must be all in uppercase): {CLIENTNAME}_{REGION}.
The only other fields that are required to be populated for a CPL Campaign are the Start Date and Projected End Date.
Set Campaign Process
Once the campaign is created we must assign the campaign process to the campaign. Click the Set Inquiry Process button, uncheck the Copy Process box and select the campaign that was setup earlier in the guide from the dropdown. Click the Create Process button and the process will be set against the campaign, click the Save button.
Configure Campaign Budget Breakdown
Now that the campaign process has been set we can begin configuring the budget breakdown. Select the Campaign Detail Budget tab and select the SourceType field from the "Budget Source Type Context Object" dropdown and the Region field from the "Region Context Object" dropdown. Once the correct fields are selected a grid will appear with the region values as rows and the Source types as columns. As each campaign is for a single region, only 1 of the rows under the ContentSyndication column will need to be populated.
Create Funnel Configuration
Next we need to create a new funnel configuration and assign it to the campaign, we can do this directly in the campaign by selecting the funnel tab. Click the Create Funnel button, you do not need to set any of the details on the dialog box so click Save and the funnel config is complete.
Generate Campaign Data Tables
Once all the previous steps have been completed, we can create the data tables. Click the Data & Reports tab and enter a sync time (Note: time is in UTC to adjust the value entered accordingly). The data tables within the data warehouse are synchronised every 24 hours, the time entered is the time of day the campaign is synchronised in the data warehouse.
set the Digital Agency Master Campaign ID to 0. CPL campaigns do not use Paid Media so we set this to 0 so no data is synchronised to this campaign.
