In order to get ad groups currently in draft status to go live, the quickest way is to...
1. On the Select a campaign page, open the appropriate campaign.
2. From the Select an ad group page, select the check box(es) of the Draft ad group(s) you want to submit, and click Actions.
3. From the Actions drop-down list, click Submit ad group.
As for setting a monthly or daily budget, it can only be done at the campaign level and applies equally to all ad groups within that campaign. Use the following steps.
1. On the Select a campaign page, open the appropriate campaign.
2. From the Select an ad group page, click the [Edit] button next to Budget spent this month (USD). Even though you're on the ad group page, once you click this link, you'll be editing the campaign settings for all ad groups belonging to that campaign.
3. From the per month drop-down list, click per day. The Maximum Monthly Budget text box shifts downward and you can now fill in the maximum amount you to spend per day in the Campaign Budget (USD) text box. Note: this text box isn't visible until you select per month from the drop-down list.
Let me know if this doesn't make sense to you. The user interface is a bit confusing with the hidden text box and all.
