5.2 Tracking Portal Campaign
Setting up and managing a tracking portal campaign
A tracking portal campaign enables the user to have a customised image with a customised url destination within the tracking portal for all your consignments.
To create or manage a tracking portal campaign, to go Administration > Tracking Portal Campaigns > Campaign
From here you can either create a new campaign, or edit an existing campaign
Create new campaign:
Click on “Add new”
A new screen will load with a set of fields that need to be populated
Fields explained: See table 1 below
Adding an image: Once you have saved your new campaign, the screen will refresh and you can add an image. Please note: your campaign will not be displayed until you add an image. Click on the name of the saved campaign that you want to add one or multiple images to:
Click “Add image” on the new page that opens up
A new window will open up and you need to populate the following fields:
Description - give it an easy to remember name for future reference
Select if you want it to be active or not. An inactive image will not be displayed
Enter the url you want the user to be taken to when clicking on the image
Click on “Choose file” to upload your selected image from your computer. NOTE: Images should be 700x300px to display propely. If image is larger, then OmniParcel will resize and crop it to the required size, so its better to provide images in the required dimensions. Image size must be between 100kb to 150kb, larger images will increase the load time of the tracking page.
Click “Save”
Once you click save the screen will refresh, and your new image has been added. From this page you can edit an existing image, add more images, delete an image or edit your campaign details:

Click on the name of your existing campaign

To delete an image, click on”Delete” next to the required image
To edit an image or the image url, click on the image name
