We support the definition of availabilities as follows:

Object

Priority of fields when set (1 = first value to be looked at if applicable)

Fields

Meaning

Ad Specs

4

Maximum Applicability

The availability of your Ad Spec for the defined time unit (e.g. 1, 2, 5).

4

Maximum Applicability Unit

The time unit to define for which time frame the availability value from above needs to be looked at (Day, Week, Month,…)

Ad Prices

3

Constant Quantity - required (Default if empty = “Quantity”)

How should your availability be calculated? We have 3 modes to choose from:

  • Quantity (default): The availability of your items is only defined based on the Quantity value. The Quantity should be linearly distributed across the runtime. (Frequency will be ignored)

  • Frequency: The availability of your items is only defined based on the Frequency value. The Frequency should be linearly distributed across the runtime. (Quantity will be ignored)

  • Runtime Campaign Item: Quantity and Frequency define the availability calculation. Quantity counts as the number of units booked while the Frequency reflects the number of time units in comparison to Campaign Item time frame and Maximum Applicability Unit (e.g. 5 Units booked on 5 days). (info) Please take note that for this mode no distribution will happen across the runtime but the quantity will be booked each day/week/… of the runtime again.

  • Requested Availability: The availability of your items is only defined based on the Requested Availability value. The Requested Availability should be linearly distributed across the runtime. (Quantity/Frequency will be ignored)

Info

Please check the table below for allowed combinations of Constant Quantity and Maximum Applicability values.

Maximum Applicability

The availability of your Ad Price for the defined time unit (e.g. 1, 2, 5).

Maximum Applicability Unit - required

The time unit to define for which time frame the availability value from above needs to be looked at (Day, Week, Month,…)

⚠️ Especially for weekly units please set the field “Starting Day for Availability Units“ to make sure that the correct week starting day is taken into account.

Starting Day for Availability Units

This field is essential to be set as soon as you are working with weekly availabilities. This number defines the week starting day in a number that can differ between 1 and 7. 1 is Monday and 3 would be Wednesday. 

For Booking Calendar usage a similar setting will be required as well: “Week Commencing Day“. https://advendio.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SO/pages/3356688385/7.2.25+How+to+set+up+the+Booking+Calendar+Lightning#Step-2%3A-Setup-Filters
