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:
| ||
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 | ||||
Contents | 2 | Maximum Applicability | The availability of your Content for the defined time unit (e.g. 1, 2, 5). | ||
Content Ad Price Assignments | 1 = most detailed level | Maximum Applicability | The availability of your Content in combination with an Ad Price for the defined time unit (e.g. 1, 2, 5). |
Please take note that only the following combinations of Constant Quantities and Maximum Applicability Units are allowed. Otherwise, the service will return a not available message:

The Campaign Item timeframe will be ignored in the availability request
Constant Quantity values for “Quantity” and “Frequency” will be distributed across the number of Publication dates selected while the Constant Quantity value “Runtime Campaign Item” will book the Quantity set in the Campaign Item for each Publication date.

When working with Publication dates please note that the Media Configuration publication date selection does not respect the Inventory Forecast logic. Please switch to the Campaign Builder instead when you require to see availabilities in the publication date selection too. |
