# Cross Runs and Campaigns

## Cross Runs

A `Cross Run` is a collection of runs that can be compared and analyzed together, enabling you to evaluate results across multiple experiments.

### Run Selection

- Access the `Cross Runs` page using the navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
- Select the runs you wish to compare by checking the corresponding boxes, then click the `Display` button.

Additional options include:

- Hide the left panel (using the `Eye` icon)
- Change the template (using the `Gears` icon)
- Switch to fullscreen mode (using the `Arrow` icon)

For more details, see the [How To: Visualize My Data and Change Template guide](/public/docs/visualize-my-data-and-change-template).

              
              

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can learn how to create a cross runs template in the [Administration: Create or Update a Spotfire Template guide](/public/docs/create-or-update-a-spotfire-template).

## Campaigns

A `Campaign` is a group of runs intended to be executed and analyzed together.

To access the `Campaigns` page, click the `Folder` icon in the navigation menu.

On this page, you can:

- Create a new campaign
- Edit an existing campaign
- View the runs associated with a campaign as a cross run
