# statuses:
#   * Unclipped - Campaign has not been clipped yet
#     - only the full mass clip will update this status - not the test clips
#     - the show page hides the metrics and log
#
#   * Clipping - Campaign is currently clipping the offers
#     - full mass clip AND test clips will set this status
#     - when full mass clip completes, status will update to Clipped
#     - when test clips complete, status will update to Test Clipped
#     - show the metrics and logs and run the ajax updates while in this state
#
#   * Test Clipped - Campaign has been clipped to one of the test groups
#
#   * Clipped - Campaign has been clipped to the full subscriber list
#
#   * Exporting - CSV is being exported/uploaded to campaign monitor
#
#   * Exported - CSV export has finished
#
#   * Clip Cancelled - The 'Cancel Clip' button has been clicked
#
#   * ERROR - Check the log for clip or export failures
#
# The 'export csv' button is disabled unless the metrics show > 0 successful
# clips.  The `subject_line` and `send_at` fields must also be filled-in in
# order to perform the export/upload to campaign monitor.
#
# The 'clip xxx' buttons are disabled until subscribers have been uploaded and
# offers have been selected.
#
#
# subscribers:
#   Each campaign is associated with a campaign subscriber list.  This list is
#   different from the campaign monitor subscriber list.  The campaign monitor
#   subscriber list ID is stored in the auto clip campaign record so that it
#   knows where to upload the CSV after a mass auto clip.  The auto clip
#   campaign subscriber list is the actual list of subscribers which the
#   campaign will attempt to clip the offers to during the mass auto clip.
#
#   The campaign's subscriber list is held in a db table associated with this
#   specific campaign.  Subscribers can be added to this list in two ways.  There
#   will be an 'Add Program Members' button and 'Upload CSV' button.  These
#   buttons can be clicked multiple times to add additional subscribers from
#   multiple programs and/or multiple CSV files.  There will be a
#   'Clear Subscribers' button to reset the list of subscribers associated with
#   this campaign.  This list of subscribers is persistent until cleared. If a
#   mass clip has already been performed and there are metrics associated with
#   certain subscriber records then those records will be retained - but marked
#   with a deleted status (for metrics).
#
# offers:
#   Arbitrary offers can be associated with each campaign.  These offers will
#   be clipped to every subscriber associated with the campaign during the mass
#   auto clip.  An offer can be added by clicking a '+' button then entering
#   search criteria into 'tags' or 'title/desc' fields.  Selecting an offer from
#   the search results will associate it with the campaign and display a
#   preview of the offer.  Additional offers can be added in the same fashion.
#   Only offers which are currently active or will be in the future will appear
#   in the search results.  Offers can also be individually deleted from the
#   campaign.
#
# clip target:
#   The clip target is a dropdown list that contains all of the test groups
#   and the "subscribers list".  The test groups are defined in the
#   config/auto_clip.yml file under the 'test_groups' node.  The "subscribers list"
#   item refers to the subscribers associated with this specific campaign.  This
#   clip target dropdown controls which list will have offers clipped to them by
#   the 'Clip Campaign' button.
