Overview
Committing a line on a schedule indicates that the line is ready to proceed from a planning state to a more financially "committed" state in the campaign management workflow.
Individual lines on the Schedule grid can be committed without committing the entire schedule at once. This allows for individual orders to be sent whenever ready, even if others are not. Revisions can similarly be committed mid-flight, as needed.
Commit a Schedule Line
To commit one or more schedule lines, do the following:
- Open the appropriate media campaign.
- Navigate to the campaign's Schedule tab.
- Select one or more approved Schedule grid line(s).
- Click the Commit button.
- In the Commit Selected Rows window, click Yes. The status of the successfully committed Schedule grid line(s) changes to Committed.
Effects of Committing a Schedule Line
When schedule lines are committed on the Schedule grid, located on the Schedule tab, OneStrata automatically does the following:
- On the Schedule tab: Enables automatic flight period soft locking
- On the Orders tab: Groups committed lines with the same Order ID into orders on the Orders grid
- On the External Integrations tab: For Placement lines with a Technology Assignment value, creates one or more Ad Placement lines on the Ad Server grid
- On the Actualization tab: Creates one or more Order, Cost Package, Media Package, Placement, Fee, and Billing Period lines on the Actualization grid
The images below provide an example of how the Schedule, Orders, External Integrations, and Actualization tabs are connected:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Schedule tab | There are four committed Placement lines with Yourbook as an Order Partner.
|
| Orders tab | The four Placement lines are grouped together into a single order.
|
| External Integrations tab | The four Placement lines have one or more corresponding Ad Placement lines.
|
| Actualization tab | The four schedule Placement lines each have a corresponding Placement line on the Actualization grid. The Actualization grid Placement lines are further broken down into Billing Period lines (the start and end dates of each placement's billing periods are configured on the media schedule, within the Unit Calendar). The order associated with the four Placement lines correspond to an Actualization grid Order line.
