CQ - Step by Step procedure to create a campaign and publish it in CQ 5.6

Below are the steps to create a campaign and publish it on website.
  1. Open campaign management console assuming CQ is running on port 4502 (http://localhost:4502/mcmadmin#/content/dashboard)
  2. Click on campaign tab. It will show list of all brands and campaigns.
  3. Hierarchy should like Brands --> Campaigns --> Teasers. It means first Brand should be created and then campaign and then teaser.
  4. Click on Campaigns tab and then click on New to create new Brand. Make sure to select Brand as template and enter any name say myBrand.
  5. Once brand is created, click on myBrand appearing on the left hand side. Now click on new button to create a campaign. Make sure Campaign template is selected and enter any name say myCampaign.
  6. It will create a campaign by name of myCampaign. Click on myCampaign and properties to enter priority, On/Off time(Campaign activation period),image.
  7. Lets assume our requirement is to create multiple teasers for different segments(female and male). So before creating teasers page, we need to create segments through Tools console --> Segmentation and New page. In this example, we can use existing segments created in geometrixx-outdoors site. 
  8. Now we have segments. Lets go ahead and create the teaser page for female.
  9. Click on myCampaign and New in the list view to create teasers. Enter name as femaleTeaser and select Teaser page as the template. It will automatically open properties dialog allowing us to enter location, On/Off time and segmentation. 
  10. Lets assume that campaign is targeted for geometrixx-outdoors/en page. Select "/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en" as location and valid On/Off time. Also select female segment in the segmentation. Now our teaser page is targeted for female segment.
  11. Now as teaser is created, we need to edit it to add component to it. Add Text and Image component to show the text and image to be shown on the geometrixx-outdoors/en page for female segment.
  12. We need to add touchpoint to it. Touchpoint is the place on the website where teaser/campaign will be displayed. Open Geometrixx-outdoor/en page and add Teaser component to the place where we want teaser to be displayed.
  13. Now load the female segment by clicking on Ctrl+Alt+C and then selecting female profile.
  14. Teaser should appear on the page.
  15. Now create another teaser for male by selecting the campaign first and then clicking on New button.
  16. Once male teaser is created and placed on the page, it should also be displayed based on the segment.
