Creating a Campaign Dashboard

Go to Reporting > Campaigns Dashboards and click Create dashboard. Fill in:

  • Campaign name — required. Used to suggest relevant posts automatically, so make it descriptive and specific

  • Description — required. Shown in the shared client view — write it as a brief context note for whoever receives the report

  • Date range — defines which posts are eligible for inclusion. Maximum period: 180 days

  • Social networks and ad platforms — select only the channels relevant to this campaign

Once saved, you move to content selection.

Reviewing the suggested content

Metricool automatically suggests relevant posts based on your campaign name and description. The editor shows two tabs: Included content and Excluded content. By default, the Included content tab shows "No content added to this dashboard yet" — you decide what to include.

  • Posts that match your campaign appear in Excluded content — check the ones you want to add and click Add selection

  • To remove posts from the dashboard, select them from Included content and click Remove selection

  • Use the search bar and filters to find specific posts quickly

If the suggested posts don't match your campaign, you can edit the post selection from the dashboard editor, but you cannot change the campaign name or description after creation. If the automatic suggestions are too far off, create a new dashboard with a more specific name and description, then add posts manually or from Analytics/Planner, and delete the old dashboard.

Adding posts from other areas of Metricool

You're not limited to adding content from the dashboard editor. There are two additional entry points.

From the Planner

When composing or scheduling a post, you'll see a Campaigns Dashboards field in the Global presets section. Select one or more dashboards you've already created — the post will be associated with those dashboards and appear with metrics after publication and sync.

You must create the dashboard before scheduling the post.

Bulk add scheduled posts from the List view

You can add multiple scheduled posts to a Campaign Dashboard at once:

  1. Go to Planning > List

  2. Select the posts you want to add using the checkboxes

  3. Click Bulk actions and choose Add to campaign dashboard

  4. Review the selected content and click Next

  5. Select or search for the target dashboard

  6. Click Add

Each post is validated against the dashboard's networks, accounts, and date range before being assigned.

The dashboard must be created before you can add posts to it.

From Analytics

You can add published posts directly from the Analytics post list:

  1. In Analytics, go to the post list

  2. Click Add to dashboard

  3. Select the posts you want to add

  4. Click Add to dashboard to confirm

  5. Choose which Campaign Dashboard(s) to add them to

  6. Click Add

FAQs

Can I include content from multiple brands in one dashboard?

No. Each dashboard belongs to a single brand and can only include content from that brand. If you manage several brands in Metricool, you'll need a separate dashboard for each one.

What's the maximum date range for a campaign?

180 days.

Can I edit the campaign name, description, or date range after creating a dashboard?

No. The dashboard configuration (name, description, date range, and networks) cannot be modified after creation. If you need to change any of these settings, create a new dashboard with the correct configuration and delete the old one.

Can I add a post to multiple dashboards?

Yes. When adding from Analytics or the Planner, you can select multiple Campaign Dashboards at once.
