Challenge
When working with Broadsign, a challenge is setting up the appropriate pre-configurations to enable Sales Reps and Order Managers to easily select the right Ad Specs for their Campaign Items. Ad Specs consist of the medium/site where the ad is running and the specific format (ad type). However, creating Ad Types with the necessary technical and format settings for successful integration with an external system like an AdServer can be challenging. It is important to understand how to create Ad Types and which settings need to be configured in Broadsign to ensure they work correctly.
Solution
By following these instructions, you can easily create Ad Types in Broadsign and configure the required technical and format settings to ensure successful integration with an external system. When creating Ad Types for Broadsign make sure to fill in the information below, explaining which fields equal which settings in the AdServer.

Priority | If the priority field is left empty, we use the value defined on the Ad Type. The platform has specified certain values that are allowed for priority. Therefore, you must select from those specific values when setting priorities in Broadsign. For example, if a priority in Broadsign is labelled as P1, you should also assign the same value in ADvendio. | |

Depending on the goal, you need to set different additional fields like Secondary Goal Budget. |

Setup
The page layout of the Ad Type might not have all the necessary fields for the users, so the System Administrator might need to add them. Additionally, new values may need to be added to existing picklist fields to match the required settings.
