Use this procedure to prepare a new Campaign from a prior Campaign in the Podigee Audio Video Ad Server. The prior Campaign supplies useful planning context. You must make every new commercial and delivery decision again. A prior Campaign can serve as a team template. Podigee does not change the source Campaign when you use it as a starting point. ## Prerequisites Before you start, make sure that you have these items: * Permission to plan Campaigns in Monetization. * Access to the prior Campaign in the current workspace. * A new authorized buyer brief or order. * Current Commercial account, brand, buyer, and seller authority. * Current Inventory options for the new delivery period. Do not reuse a prior Campaign if you do not have authority for the new order. ## Understand what Podigee prepares Podigee prepares stable planning context for review. It does not duplicate a delivery commitment. | Podigee prepares for review | You must enter or select again | | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | | Commercial account | Campaign name | | Brand | Start date and end date | | Current usable buyer and seller references | Budget and currency | | Outcome objective | Order number and purchase order reference | | Audience | Commercial terms and their confirmation | | Markets | Inventory package and delivery destinations | | Audio and video selection | Goal and rate for each Flight | | Content categories | Capacity reservations and Creative assignments | Podigee uses current governed options. An old Inventory package, reservation, Creative assignment, or live delivery state cannot enter the new proposal through this action. ## Open the source Campaign 1. Open **Monetization**. 2. Select **Campaigns**. 3. Open the Campaign that has the closest useful planning context. 4. Review its buyer, objective, media, markets, and delivery structure. 5. Select **Use as starting point**. ![The One Podigee Campaign workspace shows the source Campaign and the Use as starting point action.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d4845433cd76760c227c171d45c286e8d5a233af%2Fdoc-monetization-033-source-campaign.jpg?alt=media) *Review the source Campaign. Then select Use as starting point to prepare a new proposal.* ## Review the prepared context The **Build Campaign proposal** form opens. A notice names the source Campaign and explains which decisions Podigee did not copy. 1. Confirm the **Commercial account** and **Brand**. 2. Confirm the **Buyer legal entity**. 3. Select the correct current **Seller legal entity**. 4. Review the **Outcome objective**. 5. Review the **Audience**, **Markets**, **Desired media**, and **Content categories**. 6. Remove any prepared value that the new buyer brief does not support. ![The One Podigee Campaign proposal form shows prepared planning context and a blank new Campaign name.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-74307f664c3e5379e81f03b6e4c6634b1446bc81%2Fdoc-monetization-033-reuse-proposal.jpg?alt=media) *Use the prepared context as a checklist. Enter every new commercial and delivery decision.* The blank **Campaign name** is an important safety check. It prevents the new proposal from looking like the source Campaign. ## Enter the new order and delivery promise 1. Enter a new **Campaign name**. 2. Enter the authorized **Starts at** and **Ends at** dates. 3. Enter the new **Budget** and confirm the **Currency**. 4. Enter the new **Order number** and **Purchase order reference**. 5. Enter the new **Commercial terms**. 6. Confirm the terms only after you verify their authority. 7. Select the current **Inventory package**. 8. Select the delivery destination for each media format. 9. Enter the new goal and rate for each Flight. 10. Review the complete form. Do not copy an old date, price, goal, or term only because it was valid for the source Campaign. ## Build and review the proposal 1. Select **Build Campaign proposal**. 2. Review the new Campaign name, buyer, schedule, budget, order, and terms. 3. Review every proposed Flight. 4. Confirm that each Flight uses the correct media, goal, rate, market, and content category. 5. Confirm that the planned Flight values fit inside the new Campaign budget. The proposal does not reserve capacity, assign Creative, publish the Campaign, or start delivery. Complete those tasks after the new Campaign workspace exists. ## Resolve a problem safely | Problem | Safe action | | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Use as starting point** is not available | Confirm that you can edit Campaigns in the current Monetization workspace. | | A buyer, brand, or legal entity is unavailable | Select a current authorized record. Do not replace it with an unrelated record. | | A prepared value is wrong for the new order | Change or remove the value before you build the proposal. | | The source Campaign used an old Inventory package | Select a current published package that supports the new dates and media. | | The new order uses different media | Change **Desired media** and enter a new plan for each selected format. | | The old Campaign had useful Creative | Build the new Campaign first. Assign an eligible current Creative in a separate step. | | You opened the wrong source Campaign | Select **Cancel**. Open the correct Campaign and start again. | | You already built an incorrect proposal | Do not confirm it. Return to Campaigns and build a corrected proposal. | Never change the source Campaign to make the new proposal work. ## Expected result Podigee creates a new Campaign proposal with reviewed planning context from the source Campaign. The new proposal has its own name, dates, order, terms, budget, Inventory, goals, and rates. It has no copied reservation, Creative assignment, publication, or delivery state. Next, create the new Campaign workspace. Then forecast its capacity before you reserve Inventory. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
