Control Room is the starting page for daily work in the Podigee Audio Video Ad Server. It gives you a short workspace summary and direct routes to common work. Use it to decide where to go next. ## Before you start You need access to Monetization. Check the workspace selector at the top of the page before you use the totals. The totals apply to the selected workspace or to **All monetization**. If Monetization is not set up for the selected workspace, Control Room shows a setup action instead of operating totals. Complete the setup before you plan Campaigns or publish delivery. ## Read the workspace summary Open **Monetization > Control Room**. ![The current One Podigee Control Room shows the active Monetization context, four workspace totals, and direct routes to Campaigns, Creatives, and Team inbox.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4f60494206fc980f16b51a54bdfa2cc8ffad0ba3%2Fdoc-monetization-066-control-room.png?alt=media) *Use the summary to choose the next work area. Open the exact object or request before you make a decision.* The page shows four totals: * **Commercial accounts** shows the advertisers and other commercial parties in the current workspace. * **Campaign workspaces** shows the current Campaign records. * **Creative families** shows the groups of related audio and video ads. * **Active publications** shows the delivery publications that are active now. A total is a navigation signal. It is not a delivery report or a financial statement. ## Open the next action Use the three work cards below the totals: * Select **Open Campaigns** to plan or change a Campaign, its Flights, targeting, pricing, Creative coverage, capacity, or publication. * Select **Open Creatives** to upload, preview, prepare, or review an audio or video ad. * Select **Review handoffs** when Team inbox shows work that needs your attention. The Team inbox card shows the number of handoffs that need attention and the number that are new. Open the handoff before you change the related item. The handoff keeps the owner, discussion, and saved subject together. ## Find work that Control Room does not show Control Room does not replace the specialist operating pages. Use the left navigation when your question needs more detail: | Your question | Open | | ---------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | | Which Flights are behind pace or close to a delivery date? | **Flightboard** | | Which exact saved version needs a formal decision? | **Approvals** | | Which delivery issue needs recovery work? | **Operations** | | What was delivered, earned, or reconciled? | **Evidence & Money** | | Which guided job applies to an unfamiliar task? | **Revenue jobs** | | Which package, format, or episode break can be sold? | **Inventory** | Do not infer a Campaign risk only from a Control Room total. Open Flightboard or the Campaign and check its delivery state, dates, forecast, capacity, and remaining commitment. ## Choose work by impact If several items need attention, use this order: 1. Open **Operations** for an issue that can stop listener delivery or qualified revenue. 2. Open **Flightboard** for a Campaign commitment that is behind pace or close to its end date. 3. Open **Approvals** for a formal decision that blocks publication or delivery. 4. Open **Team inbox** for a handoff that blocks another operator. 5. Open **Campaigns**, **Creatives**, or **Inventory** for incomplete setup work. 6. Open **Evidence & Money** for a delivery or money difference that needs investigation. This order protects live delivery first. Your organization can use a different order when a contract, incident, or customer commitment has higher impact. ## Expected result You understand the size and current activity of the selected Monetization workspace. You open the surface that owns the next result, and you do not use a summary total as final evidence. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/use-control-room.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
