Where: Distribution ▸ Campaigns ▸ your campaign ▸ Distribution ▸ Show settings, step Batches A list of two hundred people makes eight batches of 25. makes them for you: it splits everyone in the campaign who is not in a batch yet into batches of the size you choose, names them, and shows you the result before it creates them all at once. What it creates are ordinary batches. You can rename them, change who is in them or delete them afterwards, just like a batch you made yourself with Add batch.

​
Do

1

Open Auto batches

On step Batches, press Auto batches. The line under your batches says how many people are not in a batch yet. When everyone is, the button is off.
2

Choose how to split

Canvas order fills the batches from the first row of your list to the last. Rep gives each presenter batches of their own, so every batch holds one presenter’s people. Rep is available when the campaign’s profile personalizes the presenter.
3

Pick a size

Press 10, 25 or 50, or type a size of your own in Custom, up to 50.
4

Name them

Keep the name pattern or press one of the patterns under it (see Name patterns). To give one batch a name of its own, type over its name in the preview.
5

Check the preview

Every batch with its number, its rows, its first and last person, and how many people it holds. Press ✕ to leave a batch out: its people stay without a batch, and the batches after it renumber. Put back brings them back.
6

Create them

Press the button that counts them, such as Create 2 batches. They are created all at once, or none are. Nothing runs yet: you start each batch from the campaign when you are ready.
The Auto batches dialog: the settings on the left, a preview of two batches on the right

Canvas order at 25 per batch: the 37 people without a batch become batch 3 with 25 people and batch 4 with the 12 left over.

​
How the split works

  • Only people without a batch. Anyone already in a batch of this campaign is skipped, and the dialog says how many.
  • Full batches first. Every batch holds the size you chose, except the last one, which takes what is left: 37 people at 25 make a batch of 25 and a batch of 12. With Rep, each presenter’s last batch takes the rest of their people.
  • Presenter by presenter. With Rep, presenters come in the order they first appear in your list, and each presenter’s people keep their order.
  • People without a presenter. When the profile personalizes the presenter, the dialog warns you about rows with no presenter. With Rep, they are grouped in the last batches, named No rep. Their videos cannot be produced until you fill in their presenter in the canvas.
  • Numbers continue. New batches are numbered after the campaign’s existing ones: with two batches already, the first new one is batch 3.
Run one batch before you create the rest. Make a small first batch with Add batch, run it and check the results, then let Auto batches split everyone else.

​
Name patterns

A pattern is text with tokens in curly braces. Every batch fills in its own values, and the preview shows the names as you type. Canvas order starts with Batch {n} ({rows}), which gives Batch 3 (1–25). Rep starts with {rep} · wave {i}, which gives Alex Martin · wave 1. With Rep, a presenter’s people are rarely next to each other in your list, so a {rows} range can take in people of other presenters. A token the dialog does not know stays as you typed it, so a typo shows up in the preview.
