Approving a Campaign
When you finish setting up a campaign, you need to approve it, which does one of the following:
- If you did not specify a start date, or the specified start date has already passed, the campaign is started immediately, and tasks are sent to assignees.
- If the specified start date is in the future, the campaign is set as ready to start and moved into Pending status, where it will remain until the start date.
Important: You cannot start a campaign if one of the content items in the campaign is archived and has no replacement or newer published version.
Approve a Campaign
- From an open campaign, click Approve (Ready to Start).
- (Optional) In the Set as Approved box, replace the default "New Campaign" text with a description of the campaign's purpose.
Note: The text entered in this box will appear in the Change Summary field within the campaign.
- (Optional) To add what you wrote to this campaign's discussion board, select Post to Discussion Board.
- Click Submit.
- If the campaign started immediately, a results prompt appears. Review the list of users who will be notified, and then click OK.
