In Fluency, budgets are set to monthly by default. To set spend over a defined timeframe that spans multiple months, you can use a flighted budget. This is helpful if you have specific timelines, such as campaigns with promotional windows.
Creating a flighted budget
First, create a new budget.
Under Budget Settings, select Flighted in the dropdown for Budget Type.
Scroll down and add Budget Start and End dates. Remember to click Apply after selecting each date in the calendar.
Enter the total amount you want to spend for the full period in the Budget Amount field.
Click Save in the top-right.
Changing an existing monthly budget to a flighted budget
Hover over Manage (globe icon) in the left menu, and select Accounts.
Select the Budget tab.
Click on a budget from the list of budgets associated with the account.
Go to Budget Settings near the top.
In Budget Settings, find Budget Type and select Flighted in the dropdown.
Enter a Budget Start and End date.
Once you apply the dates, the Lifetime field will appear. Enter a value for the flighted budget.
Click Save in the top-right.
