With version 2.116, we now offer you the possibility, to check your AdServer availabilities, on the fly in the Media Configuration. Changed your mind on some Targeting Criteria? Some last minute changes on your Item? Where in the past you needed to open the Media Configuration, configure your changes, save everything and then go back to the Campaign Item list to check the availability, you can verify everything is available before leaving the Media Configuration!

To use this simply click the Check Availability Button at the bottom.

Info

At the moment, check availability will be started for all Campaign Items currently displayed in the Media Configuration. There is no way to select which items to use and which to ignore or to just check single items. Items which are not connected to an AdServer are still shown, with a warning, that no AdServer Connection is existing. 

Also the 4.4.6 Check Availability for Exclusive Products feature, is not supported by Check Availability from Media Configuration.

We're working on integrating these features in one of the coming releases. If you want to receive updates on these developments, feel free to contact your Technical Account Manager or support@advendio.com

Using Check Availability in combination with Key Value Targeting

In case your are using the new 4.3.4.4 Key Value / Audience (AdServer) Targeting, you might some changed behavior. Currently, the field AdServer Targeting is used to configure Key Values or Audience Segments and the technical information of that are written into this field. Once you click the new Check Availability, this field will also be filled with a technical String, regardless of if there are Key/Values selected or not. Please keep this in mind, in case you are using this field in custom logic or use it to see if Key Values are in use for an Item or not. We're working on providing a better display of the actual Key Value targeting information in our first release of 2020, scheduled for February.
