UI Updates

We've been hard at work updating our core UI. Key updates include:

1. UI Creative Table Enhancements: The UI creative table now allows you to sort by "active" or "inactive" ads, in addition to sorting by "name" and "ad id."
2. Flight Goal Auto-Balance US Status Update: The UI now accounts for whether all in-flight ads are cumulatively on track to reach the flight's goal. You'll see:
   a. Green: If all ads in the flight are cumulatively on pace within +/- 10%.
   b. Yellow: If all ads in the flight are cumulatively borderline on pace within +/- 10% and +/- 15%.
   c. Red: If all ads in the flight are cumulatively within +/- 15% of the flight's goal.
3. Monthly revenue goals: When creating a flight, you now have the option to set a monthly revenue goal. Once set, Kevel's ad balancer will pace the flight as evenly as possible through the month.
