Media plan

The Media plan (/media-plan in the nav rail) shows your campaigns as bars on a calendar timeline — one lane per campaign, coloured by status, so you can see at a glance what runs when and where the gaps are.

Read the timeline

Each campaign is a horizontal bar on its own lane, positioned by its start and end dates. The bar’s colour is the campaign’s status — the same palette as the campaign statuses:

Bar colour	Status
Green	Active
Blue	Planned (scheduled)
Amber	On pause

A vertical now playhead marks the present moment across every lane. An open-ended campaign (no end date) runs to the right edge of the window with an ∞ marker.

The month timeline — one lane per campaign, coloured by status, with the now playhead

Note

The media plan lists only campaigns that are Planned, Active, or On pause. Draft, stopped, and archived campaigns are not shown — the plan is about what is (or will be) on air.

Note

The now playhead and the Now button use the server’s clock, not your computer’s — so the timeline is correct even if your device clock is off.

Change the period and move through time

The toolbar controls the window:

• Period dropdown — zoom the timeline to Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year.
• Date chip — click it to open a date picker and re-anchor the window on a chosen day.
• ‹ / › — shift the window one period back or forward.
• Now — re-centre on the present and re-sync to the server clock.

The period dropdown — five zoom levels for the timeline window

Sort the campaign lanes

The sort dropdown orders the lanes: By start date, By status, or By name.

Filter the timeline

The Filter button opens a sheet that narrows the plan to campaigns playing on the screens you care about. It has:

• a device multi-select (with a search box),
• a tag multi-select, and
• a Union / Intersection control.

The mode decides how the two lists combine:

• Union keeps every campaign shown on any chosen screen or on any screen carrying a chosen tag.
• Intersection keeps only campaigns shown on a chosen screen and on a screen with a chosen tag.

An empty filter shows the whole plan. Apply narrows the timeline; Reset clears it.

The filter sheet — pick screens and tags, then combine them with Union or Intersection

Note

The filter matches on where a campaign is published, not merely targeted — a campaign appears only if it actually has a screen (or tagged screen) in its live publication.

Inspect a campaign from the timeline

Click a bar to select its campaign. The panel on the right shows that campaign’s detail — the same view as the campaign detail page, including its Preview button. The panel header has three actions:

• Open campaign — go to the full campaign page (/campaigns/{id}).
• Copy link — copy a shareable link to the campaign.
• Close — clear the selection and return to the empty panel.

Selecting a bar opens the campaign's detail in the right panel

Create a campaign from the media plan

The + Campaign button starts a new campaign with the same create flow as the Campaigns screen — a quick way to fill a gap you spot on the timeline.
