1. Click on the Campaign Manager link at the top of the screen
2. Click on Add New
Campaign
3. Set-up/Choose the proper Advertiser Record:
   a. If the advertiser has already run campaigns on your station(s) then you can use the USE EXISTING link to search for their record which should be stored in the database. If the advertiser is a new one and has not run ANY campaigns (be they
preroll or instream) click CREATE NEW link
   b. enter the Advertiser Name, Choose and Industry and enter a Bill to Name. Ando is not a billing system per se, so any other fields in the New Advertiser Record section of the page are optional and will be reported on the Contract Confirmation only. Your company might require you to enter the Client Traffic ID into the Traffic Id number line (the last one on the list). If they do enter it here and click SAVE
4. Enter a
Campaign name
5. Enter a product name - if you don't have a specific Product Name you can copy and paste the
Campaign Name from the line above
6. Set the
Campaign Source. 95% of all orders scheduled at the Station or Market level will be Local-Local. This means that the buy came into the station through a local AE or the NSM and that the ad will be running on a local station in the market cluster. Local - Corporate is an ad that gets purchased by the client at the station and the ad will run in markets outside of the local cluster. If the buy came in through a Corporate sales team and it is being trafficked to a station in the local market then this will be Corporate-local. Corporate-corporate is a buy that came in that the corporate level and runs in multiple markets across the company.

line item turned from red to Green (or orange if the flight is to start off in the future). You'll also want to verify that the flight dates are Green or Orange, the Stations link is green and that the uploaded file has uploaded and the full duration is set properly. If the system was unable to read the duration from the uploaded file there will be a -1 in the duration column. If this is the case (very rare), then click the EDIT SPOT DETAILS link from the SPOT ACTIONS menu and set the duration manually. Once there is a full number in the Duration field, click Save. At this time you can preview the file by clicking on the little sound icon. If everything is green and your file is correct, you are done.
