Steps
Tick a step’s number when it’s done. We’ll remember where you were.
In the sidebar, open Command Center. Each card shows a health label such as , progress bars for Planning and Build, and how ready the campaign is.
Select a campaign to open its Overview.
Under Workstreams, check where Planning and Platform Build are, such as Running or Needs fix. Press Open Planning → or Open Platform Build → to go to one.
Under Issues, look for anything marked BLOCKS PUSH, and press Fix → to go where it can be fixed. Planning issues are listed on the Planning page.
When it worked
Issues reads “No open issues — all workstreams on track.” when there’s nothing to fix.
If something goes wrong
Orbit showsNo campaigns yet
Campaigns are created when a media plan is approved. Open Media plans, open a plan and press Approve Plan.
A workstream says Needs fix.
Open Issues on the Overview or Planning page and press Fix → on each issue.
Audiences, Tagging, Creative or QA won’t open.
They’re marked Soon and aren’t available yet. Use Overview, Planning and Build.
How it works
Explainer: Health, workstreams and % ready
Each campaign card shows a coloured health label and how ready the campaign is. Both come from the two workstreams in use today: Planning and Build.
Cards are sorted by health: red first, then amber, blue, green and grey. The “% ready” figure on a card averages how far the Planning and Build workstreams have got, and reads 100% once the latest push has finished.
On a campaign’s Overview, each workstream shows one of these statuses:
| Colour | Label | When |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Blocked | The latest push to The Trade Desk failed its checks. |
| Amber | Attention | The Planning or Build workstream needs a fix. |
| Blue | In Progress | A workstream is running or ready to review, or a push is under way. |
| Green | On Track | The latest push to The Trade Desk finished. |
| Grey | Not Started | No workstream has started. |
- Queued: not started yet.
- Running: working now, for example “Normalizing media plan…” or “Building platform shell…”.
- Ready to review: finished and waiting for you to check it.
- Needs fix: something needs your attention. Check Issues.
- Done: complete.
- Workstreams marked Coming soon don’t count towards readiness.
Explainer: How campaigns work in Command Center
Each campaign comes from one approved media plan. Approving the plan creates the campaign, copies the plan’s lines into it, and starts its planning and build.
Open a campaign from Command Center and the sidebar changes to that campaign’s sections. All campaigns takes you back to the list.
| Section | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Overview | The Launch Ready ring, the Workstreams and their progress, and Issues. |
| Planning | The approved plan’s lines grouped by channel, any planning issues, and the card that starts or re-runs the build. |
| Build | The campaigns, ad groups and creatives the build made for The Trade Desk. Edit them here, then push. |
- A campaign keeps the plan’s lines and client as they were at approval. Editing the plan afterwards doesn’t change the campaign or its build.
- Campaigns can’t be created, deleted or archived in Command Center. Archiving or deleting the plan doesn’t remove its campaign either.
- Audiences, Tagging, Creative and QA are marked Soon in the campaign’s sidebar and aren’t available yet.
