In the Combined View, you can split a planning entry into more detailed lines called sub-entries. For example, a single media entry for Paid Social can be broken down into individual placements like Instagram Stories and Facebook feed, each with their own fields and flighting allocation.
Sub-entries are created and managed inside the Combined View. They sit nested under the planning entry and can be expanded or collapsed.
How to create a sub-entry
Right-click on a planning entry to see the options:
Create sub-entry – adds a single blank sub-entry below the planning entry for you to fill in manually.
Create sub-entries from tags – creates multiple sub-entries at once based on tags you select.
Creating sub-entries from tags
This option is useful when you want to create a sub-entry for each placement, ad format, or other tag combination in one go.
Right-click the planning entry and choose Create sub-entries from tags.
Select one or more tag categories (for example Placement).
The dialog shows how many sub-entries will be created. Click Add to confirm.
Camphouse creates one sub-entry for each combination of the tags you selected. If your organisation uses Media Inventory rules, any combinations that are not allowed will be skipped. The dialog tells you how many entries were created and how many were skipped.
Working with sub-entries
Once created, sub-entries appear nested under the planning entry. You can:
Expand and collapse the planning entry to show or hide its sub-entries.
Edit each sub-entry's fields independently, such as its placement name or start and end dates.
Flight each sub-entry by entering values in the period columns, the same way you would on a planning entry. You can also use Allocate proportionally to spread a sub-entry's total across periods in one step.
Hide the media entry fields using view settings to focus on the sub-entry fields, or hide the period columns to focus on the entry details
How totals work
Sub-entry totals are independent from the planning entry total. Editing a sub-entry's figure does not automatically update the planning entry above it. Each level's numbers are set separately.
The Total column on both levels shows the same allocated / committed format:
The number on the left is how much has been scheduled across periods (allocated).
The number on the right is the total entered for that line (committed).
This means you can compare what is planned at the top level against what is broken down at the sub-entry level, without either overwriting the other.
