Secondary Goal Type

Currently only for Standard Line Items

Used to set the Daily Budget of a Campaign Item. It can be set to:

  • Custom Budget

  • Pace Lifetime Budget

  • Unlimited

When you choose Custom Budget make sure to use it together with the Secondary Goal Quantity in the Campaign_Item (The quantity of the secondary goal for a campaign item. It defines the goal number of impressions for the campaign item to be reached).

Be aware that the combination of Goal Type = Unlimited and Secondary Goal Type = Pace Lifetime Budget is not possible. If you choose this combination the item will be pushed with Budget = Unlimited.

If you set a custom daily budget, we currently automatically set it to "Spent as fast as possible", if you prefer to pace evenly, this needs to be set manually in Xandr.

Note

Attention

To enable the modification of the secondary goal type, you might need to ensure the following configuration:

  • manually create the picklist values (CustomBudget, PaceLifetimeBudget and unlimited) in setup

  • modify the picklist restrictions under "Picklist Options" when editing the field Secondary Goal Type in Setup. The secondary goal types should be available for Standard, Guaranteed and Augmented Line Items.

With 2.119, you can override these setting on Campaign Item level

Here you can enter the percentage of total impressions of your network which you use for the Exclusive. If the field is left empty ADvendio will push 100% if AdType is of type Exclusive (Share of Voice) . The value on Campaign Item is overwriting AdType settings.

if nothing is set in ADvendio, we will use the evenly pacing setting as default.

Master

Only used for Items of the type = Guaranteed

The selected slot sizes (e.g. 1x1, 728x90...) will be transferred as Ad Sizes. You can select one or more sizes. If nothing is set, "Any Size" will be set in Xandr (Appnexus).

13

Forecasting Slot

Only used for Items of the type = Guaranteed

Use this to select a different Ad Size for the Forecasting. Attention when the Forecasting Slot is set, the master will be ignored during Check Availability. The Forecasting Slot will however not be used during "submit to Adserver"

14

Report Slot (Impressions, Clicks & Viewed AI)

For Roadblocking Items

The Report Slot can be used in combination with the Roadblocking. If nothing is set, Impressions from each creative will be counted. If you set a slot size, only Impressions from that size will be counted. Depending on whether your product is CPM, CPC or vCPM, either the Slots for Impressions, Clicks or Viewed AI will be used.

If you want to use a specifc reporting slot and only count certain impressions, you can use the reporting slot picklists to enter a slot size.

  • Reporting Slot(Ad Impressions) is for CPM products

  • Reporting Slot(Viewed Impressions) is for vCPM products

  • If nothing is entered, Each creative will be used

Roadblocking in Xandr (AppNexus) is used to determine if a Line item with multiple creatives can and will be displayed on a site with multiple slot sizes and to configure from which slot size the impressions will be counted if multiple creatives are used.

Attention: It's possible to configure multiple Slot Sizes in ADvendio for this field, but for this feature, only the first size will be used. All others will be ignored

15

Report Slot (Impressions, Clicks & Viewed AI)

For Regular Items

Available with Version 2.114

For all Items, which are not using the Roadblocking feature, you can use reporting slots to configure, which Slot Sizes will be counted as Delivery Data and then used a basis for Billing.

Example: My Line Item serves Impressions on a 300x300 and a 250x300 slot. I want to declare 300x300 as my main slot. Now Advendio only collects Impressions in this slot and disregards what has been delivered at the 250x300 slot.
