Bulk actions and campaign cloning
How to select several campaigns in the list and pause, enable, copy or archive them, or open a combined report, in one click.
Bulk actions are in the Campaigns («Кампании») section, in the bar above the list. This is also where you clone a campaign — with the Copy («Копировать») button: on the campaign's own page, a button with the same name copies the traffic link, not the campaign. How the list works is covered on the Campaigns: the list and working with the table page.
Selecting campaigns
- Open the Campaigns section.
- Select the checkboxes in the rows of the campaigns you need. On a narrow screen, the Select («Выбрать») checkbox is in the campaign card.
- Check the Selected: N («Выбрано: N») counter above the list.
The Select all («Выбрать все») checkbox selects all campaigns shown in the list with the current filters, including archived ones. Clicking it again clears all selections.
Changing the group filter (All groups («Все группы»)) or the media buyer filter (All buyers («Все баеры»), available to team leads) clears all selections. Set the filters first, then select the campaigns.
Action buttons
| Button | What happens | Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Pause («Пауза») | The status of the selected campaigns becomes “paused” («пауза») | No |
| Enable («Включить») | The status becomes “active” («активна»), including for archived campaigns | No |
| Copy | A copy is created for each selected campaign | No |
| To archive («В архив») | The status becomes “archived” («архив») | The prompt “Archive the selected campaigns (N)?” («Архивировать выбранные кампании (N)?») |
- Select the campaigns.
- Click the button you need.
- Wait for the result line under the buttons.
While the action is running, the checkboxes and these four buttons are inactive.
While a campaign is paused or archived, its link returns 404. Before clicking Pause or To archive, check that the selection includes no campaigns that are receiving traffic. More details are on the Campaign archive and trash page.
Action result
When the action finishes, the line “Done N of M” («Выполнено N из M») appears under the buttons: N is how many campaigns were processed without an error, and M is how many were selected.
If the action failed for some campaigns, the name of each such campaign and the error text are added to the result:
Выполнено 2 из 3. FB · Sweeps US: оффер недоступен: …The line reads “Done 2 of 3. FB · Sweeps US: offer unavailable: …”.
Campaigns with an error stay selected, and the others are deselected. Fix the cause and click the button again — the action will be repeated only for the selected campaigns.
Cloning a campaign
- Select one or more campaigns in the list.
- Click Copy. The copies are created right away, without a prompt.
- Find campaigns named like
<name> · копияin the list. Unless the list is sorted by ID, new campaigns are at the top.
A copy is created in the “paused” status, with a new 7-character alias and a new number in the ID column. The copy has its own link, which starts working after the copy is enabled.
Carried over to the copy:
- the domain, source and link parameters;
- the cost model and price;
- uniqueness, its period and Lost traffic, % («Недошедший трафик, %»);
- the group;
- cloaking and its settings;
- visitor binding;
- the campaign's S2S postbacks;
- all streams — with the same names, types, actions, order, weights, statuses, filters, schedules, click caps, offers and landing pages with their shares and selection mode;
- the user the campaign belongs to: the copy belongs to the same user as the original, not to the user who clicked Copy.
Not carried over:
- access granted with Share («Поделиться»);
- statistics — the copy starts from zero;
- HTTP monitoring («HTTP-мониторинг») of targets — it is off in the copy, see Campaign target diagnostics and monitoring.
Offers and landing pages are not duplicated when cloning: the copy's streams lead to the same offers and landing pages as the streams of the original campaign.
Before launching the copy:
- change its name: the Edit («Изменить») button on the campaign page — see Creating and configuring a campaign;
- copy the new link in the Traffic link («Ссылка для трафика») block — see Campaign link, domain and parameters;
- grant access again if other staff should see the copy — see Campaign access and “Share”;
- enable the copy: select it in the list and click Enable, or click Start («Запустить») on the campaign page.
Report on selected campaigns
- Select from 1 to 50 campaigns.
- Click Reports · N («Отчёты · N»), where N is the number of selected campaigns.
The Reports section opens with data only for these campaigns, for the period chosen above the list: Today («Сегодня»), 7d («7д») or 30d («30д»). How such a report works is covered on the Campaign statistics page.
While nothing is selected, the button is called Reports and is inactive. When more than 50 campaigns are selected, it is also inactive, and the hint “Select up to 50 campaigns for one report.” («Для одного отчёта выберите до 50 кампаний.») appears next to it.
If something went wrong
The “Pause”, “Enable”, “Copy” and “To archive” buttons are inactive
There are three possible reasons:
- no campaign is selected;
- the previous action is still running;
- the selection includes a campaign that is open to you for viewing only.
These campaigns are view-only for you:
- campaigns shared with you. In the list, the toggle in their Cloaking («Клоака») column is inactive, and the campaign page shows the “view only” («только просмотр») label. Clear their checkboxes, and the buttons become active;
- all campaigns, if you have View («Просмотр») access to the Campaigns section. The owner or an admin can change this value — see User permissions.
The Reports · N button works for such campaigns too.
offer unavailable: … («оффер недоступен: …») or landing page unavailable: … («лендинг недоступен: …»)
The copy was not created. One of the campaign's streams uses an offer or landing page that has been deleted or is not visible to you. Its UUID is shown after the colon.
- The offer or landing page was deleted. Restore it from the trash — see Page trash. The Check configuration («Проверить конфигурацию») button shows deleted targets of active streams — see Campaign target diagnostics and monitoring.
- You are a media buyer, and the stream uses someone else's offer or landing page that is not open to you. Your team lead, an admin or the owner can clone such a campaign: they can see all offers and landing pages.
After fixing it, click Copy again: the campaign is still selected.
unknown filter type or operator: … («неизвестный тип или оператор фильтра: …»)
The copy was not created: one of the campaign's streams has a saved condition with a field the tracker does not know, or with an operator that is not allowed for that field. The field code is shown after the colon.
- Open the campaign.
- Click the gear icon with the Stream settings («Настройки потока») tooltip on the stream with this condition.
- On the Filters («Фильтры») tab, delete the condition with the × button or choose a different field or operator.
- Click Save stream («Сохранить поток»).
- Go back to the list and click Copy again.
The allowed fields and operators are listed on the Stream filters page.
