Solution
In order to To set up the Creative Upload in ADvendio, there are so-called Ad Creative Templates required. Those templates control, which fields and settings will be available in the Creative Upload UI and thus which information your Sales Reps will be able to see. Additionally, you can determine which Campaign Items, and which Creative Templates are available. This helps you for example to make sure to only use video creatives for your video Campaign Items and similar.
