# Campaign calendar

Campaign calendar provides a comprehensive view of all your scheduled campaigns in Orbit. You can view campaigns in a monthly calendar grid or a chronological timeline, making it easy to track your marketing activities and plan ahead.

You can access the campaign calendar by clicking the calendar icon in the top-right of your campaigns screen.

## How campaigns appear in the calendar

The calendar shows the **next scheduled run** of each campaign stage, as well as the **last run date**.

- **Single-stage campaigns**: The calendar displays when the campaign will next run and when it last ran. The last run entry remains visible until the next run completes.
- **Multi-stage campaigns**: The calendar shows the next stage due to run and the most recent completed stage, whether that's the initial stage or a subsequent stage (like a time delay).

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Examples**
>
> **Single-stage daily campaign at 10am:**
>
> - At 9am Monday: Calendar shows Monday 10am (next run)
> - After 10am Monday: Calendar shows Monday 10am (last run) and Tuesday 10am (next run)
> - After 10am Tuesday: Monday entry disappears, calendar shows Tuesday 10am (last run) and Wednesday 10am (next run)
>
> **Multi-stage daily campaign starting at 10am with 1-hour time delay:**
>
> - At 9am Monday: Calendar shows Monday 10am (next run)
> - After 10am Monday: Calendar shows Monday 10am (last run) and Monday 11am (next run - wait stage)
> - After 11am Monday: Calendar shows Monday 11am (last run) and Tuesday 10am (next run - initial stage)

The list view shows:

- **Date**: When the campaign is scheduled to run
- **Time**: Scheduled time of next campaign stage (24-hour format)
- **Campaign**: Campaign name
- **Location**: Folder location
- **Last run**: Last stage of the campaign to run
