# Use Flightboard

Review campaign schedules, delivery, forecasts, capacity, value, and operating blockers.

Use **Flightboard** to review campaign flights on one operating schedule. It combines the schedule, delivery progress, forecast, capacity, value, and current operating state for each flight.

## Before you start

Select the correct Monetization workspace. You need Campaign read permission to open Flightboard. You need Campaign edit permission to plan a flight.

## Open Flightboard

Open **Monetization > Operations > Flightboard**.

![The current One Podigee Flightboard shows page totals, a seven-day timeline, and the start of the campaign flight table.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6262bd96c8f6b7b28a771fbe7e70a93a13a6b9eb%2Fdoc-monetization-071-flightboard-overview.png?alt=media)

*Start with the totals and timeline, then use the table for exact values.*

The summary cards use only the flights on the current page. They show:

* **Flights on this page**: the number of visible flights;
* **Need attention**: visible flights with an operating blocker or risk;
* **Capacity reserved**: visible flights that have a reservation;
* **Planned value**: the total planned budget of the visible flights, grouped by currency.

Planned value is not the same as earned revenue. It shows the commercial value in the current flight plans.

## Review the next seven days

The timeline shows flights that overlap the next seven days in the workspace time zone. Each bar shows the current operating state. Select a bar to open its Campaign.

The timeline can be empty even when Flightboard has flights. This happens when no visible flight overlaps the next seven days. The complete list remains in the table below.

## Use the flight table

![The current One Podigee flight table shows campaign and flight names, schedules, delivery, forecast, capacity, value, operating state, and an Open action.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-716de84e71a06db6199e9e4797fb13b4866f2a1e%2Fdoc-monetization-071-flight-table.png?alt=media)

*Use the table when you need exact quantities, dates, values, and blockers.*

Each row shows:

* the Campaign, flight, and audio or video media type;
* the start date, end date, and workspace time zone;
* delivered quantity, goal, and progress;
* expected forecast and likely range;
* reserved capacity, or **Capacity not reserved**;
* planned value and earned value;
* the current operating state.

Select **Open** to inspect the Campaign and continue the work.

## Understand delivery and forecast

**Delivery** compares billable delivered quantity with the flight goal. The progress bar uses the same values.

**Forecast** shows the expected quantity and its likely range. A forecast is an estimate. It does not protect capacity. Select **Forecast and reserve capacity** when you need to compare a scenario or reserve capacity for a commercial promise.

## Understand planned and earned value

**Planned value** uses the budget and currency in the flight plan. **Earned value** uses billable delivery events in the same currency. A zero earned value means that the current evidence has no billable delivery value for that flight.

Do not use planned value as recognized revenue. Use **Evidence & Money** for final reporting, reconciliation, and settlement evidence.

## Respond to an operating state

The operating state tells you what needs attention. Common states include:

* **Scheduled**, **On track**, **Ahead**, **Complete**, and **Ended**;
* **At risk** when delivery or forecast is below the promise;
* **Creative needed** when no eligible creative covers the flight;
* **Supply blocked** when the selected inventory is not ready;
* **Forecast needed** or **Forecast stale**;
* **Capacity needed** when the forecast has no reservation.

Open the Campaign when a flight needs work. Flightboard does not make a serving change by itself.

## Search, filter, and sort flights

![The current One Podigee Flightboard shows the Active and Upcoming filters with four matching audio and video flights.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-76d157ae8d2eb07779bd707724916b3f32484a08%2Fdoc-monetization-071-filtered-flights.png?alt=media)

*Use filters to reduce a large schedule to the flights that need the same type of work.*

Use **Search flights** to find a flight or Campaign by name. Use **Flight state** to show Active, Draft, or Paused flights. Use **Schedule** to show flights that are running now, upcoming, or ended. Select **Apply filters** after you make a change. Select **Clear** to restore the full list.

Select the **Campaign and flight** or **Schedule** column heading to change the sort order. If the list has more than one page, Flightboard keeps your search, filters, sort, and current workspace or podcast scope when you move between pages.

## Use the accessible table alternative

The visual timeline and the table open the same Campaign. Use the table if you use a keyboard or screen reader, or when you need exact values. The table has a caption, labeled columns, sort links, progress values, and named Open actions.

## Plan the next action

Select **Plan a flight** to open Campaigns and create or revise a schedule. Select **Forecast and reserve capacity** to compare delivery scenarios and protect capacity. These actions keep the Campaign, forecast, and reservation as separate records so that an estimate cannot become a reservation without an explicit action.

## Expected result

You can see which campaign flights are active or planned, what they promise, how much they have delivered, what they are likely to deliver, whether capacity is protected, and what needs action. You can open the correct Campaign without losing the current workspace or podcast context.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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-flightboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
