# McM glossary: campaigns

### What is a campaign?

A campaign defines the condition, i.e. the cmsDriver, of an entire set of requests which will be produced for a standard production (e.g. MC for analysis and comparison of 2018 data) or for a specific collection of requests (e.g. Cosmics).

In the following, the different entries needed for the definition of a campaign are explained.
