The Campaigns module makes it possible to carry out a task or modification on a set of rolling stock and to monitor its progress. The tasks that are part of a campaign are represented as maintenance events for each asset to which the campaign is assigned. The Campaign Dashboard visualises all the campaigns that have already been created and allows for easy filtering.

In case you don't have access and are interested in this module, please contact our Sales team.

To create a new campaign or manage your campaigns, log in to your Railnova account and click on "Campaigns".

Here you can access, browse through your campaigns and create new ones.

To create a new campaign, click on the button "Add a campaign" in the upper right corner.

Within a campaign, you can define the following sections:

The mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

In this section, you can give a name to your campaign, see its current status (drafted, in progress, done, cancelled, approved), define the start and end dates and add documents.

Here you can define the impact of your campaign on labels. To do so, choose the trigger from the drop-down list and select if the impact should occur "At close" or "When overdue". You can then specify an "Action", "Label category", and "Label" as well.

If your campaign has an impact on restrictions, you can specify them here by choosing the trigger and the restriction type from the drop-down list. You can add your comment in the free text field.

If the campaign has an impact on the component structure or maintenance plan of assets, you can specify the impact here.

In case there is no impact on either, proceed without ticking any of the two options.

If the campaign has an impact on the component structure, tick the checkbox component structure and specify the impact by choosing the relevant items from each dropdown list.

If the campaign has an impact on the maintenance plan, tick the checkbox maintenance plan and specify the impact by choosing the relevant items from each dropdown list.

Once all desired fields are set, please remember to click on "Create" in the bottom right corner; otherwise, the campaign won't be created.

Once the campaign has been created, its status is "drafted". The default view of the campaigns page only shows "in progress" campaigns, so you'll have to select the "drafted" box and apply this filter to see your newly created campaign on the overview.

To approve a campaign, click on it to review its details, then click on approve.

The status of the campaign now becomes "approved" after clicking on the OK button.

You can then view the approved campaign by filtering on "approved".

Only an approved campaign can be assigned to assets. The assignment to assets is possible by clicking on the approved campaign and then clicking on "Assign".

The next window will request you to assign assets to the campaign. You can choose the desired assets by picking them from the drop-down list. You can use the filters to narrow down your search to a whole class or a group of assets together with labels, asset status and technical status. Note that you will have to select each asset individually; it's not possible to select a whole asset class at once.

Upon completion, please click on "Assign".

The status of the campaign immediately becomes in progress, and you can now follow up on the progress level of the campaign.

If you click on an "in progress" campaign, you can review the maintenance events that have been automatically created for each asset in this campaign and can follow up on the status of each event within this campaign.

Depending on the status of the campaign, you can change certain details by clicking on the desired campaign on the "Browse campaigns" page.

When a campaign is drafted:

When a campaign is approved:

When a campaign is in progress:

Please note that you can't modify the date of a campaign anymore once it is approved or is in progress. If you would like to extend the campaign, you will need to create a new one with the same attributes.

Once the campaign is in progress, the campaign events are visible on the "Maintenance planning" and the "Operational" pages to the company that created them and to the companies that have the necessary permissions.

Campaigns on the "Campaigns" page are only visible to the company that creates them.
