If a campaign is defined, it enables you to separate your sampling locations or data into different campaign lists.

Define a single campaign by clicking on an empty line in the list of campaigns in the project window. A list can be uploaded using the import form for campaigns and the 4D Menue File/Import, choose 'Campaigns'.

Use the campaign level only, if the necessary metainformation is available. Otherwise use a generic campaign label or 'not_given'.
