The view is divided in two sections. At the top you see status, campaign details, and availability. It is possible to [edit campaign details](/v1/docs/new-standard-campaign#edit-campaign-details).

Below this section you find the offer section. When you define the external campaign, you must define an offer. It is not necessary to specify a target group.
