- A newspaper edition would like to sell in different regions like geographical Regions, Countries, or other like North, South, or smaller units. Selling the northern placement would then block others from buying the same spot for ALL of the countries.
AdType Blocking
Example:
- My Your periodical has a loose insert of with a maximal weight of AdType of 100g. You can also sell other smaller AdTypes with less weight. But selling a 60g AdType would block the bigger inserts and decrease the overall values of 100g by 60g so that 40g would be left.
- Full page layout blocks all single ad typesAdType. So ad types 1AdType 1, 2, 3 und and 4 will get an entry to block the full page.
AdSpec Blocking
Examples:
- Imagine that you are trying to sell the same inventory to different customers in the US and Europe. Therefore you will have two active AdPrices with different currencies and prices for the same AdSpec. But once one it has been bought by either the US Customer your or European Customer the other one can't have it also. Therefore the AdSpec needs to block itself.
- If the a full 1/1 Page page blocks the a double 2/1 for on one siteside, the other full 1/1 pages on other sites are the another side must be also blocked. That is wrong. That is solved by Ad Spec Blocking Recordscan be solved using Ad Spec blocking records.

If you are using one of the three Blocking Types make sure that you have your template layout set to show exactly that field:
name otherwise the blocking is not marked correctly on the calendar. Here is how to: 7.2.4 Setup Booking Calendar. |
Example AdSpec Blocking
This AdSpec is sold in US Dollar and Euro on two different price list: Special and Standard. But once sold it can't be sold at another price. Therefore it also has a self-blocking record.
If I sell it now to one customer for a specific day the booking calendar will show it as blocked so that I can't double book.
Here is what the booking calendar for that item will look like. Please make sure to include the column AdSpec Name into the layout otherwise the second line would not show in red!
