Once your Item configuration is done and you want to send out an offer to your customer, it s time to verify, if what you're trying to sell is really available. Especially AdServers offer many possibilities to check how much inventory will be available in which period. To support you with this ADvendio offers multiple ways to directly check the availabilities of your Campaign Items, digital or print.

...

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

Starting with version 2.122 the Check Availability for Exclusive Products feature is supported by Check Availability from Media Configuration.

In case you are using the new 4.3.4.4 Key Value / Audience (AdServer) Targeting, you might have some changed behaviour. Currently, the field AdServer Targeting is used to configure Key Values or Audience Segments and the technical information that is 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.
