Why mapping is needed

We want to offer you the highest flexibility, while also giving you the possibility to easily manage multiple AdServers, that's why there will be a mapping configured in the ADvendio Setup for the AdServer Status Field.

This way you can use our default picklist values or configure your own and still set the correct Status in your AdServer.

Also, each AdServer has its own values for status. While some require "Active" others might need "1" in order to activate an item and set it live. When you manage your Campaign Items from ADvendio, you want to make sure that you only need one "Active" value, and it will do the same for every AdServer you have connected.

How to configure it

• Navigate to the Setup and open the Custom Settings:

• Open with Action → "Manage"

• Or create a new Setting with the Label: "Adserver Status Mapping". 

• There you can see all existing mappings currently configured.

• If none exist yet, you can simply click the New button, to create a new mapping:

• Once you click the “New” button, it will open a new screen for you with the following information:

Required Fields for Submission

Please fill in the following fields:

• Name: Give your mapping a name, so you can recognize it

• Campaign Item Value: Enter here the name of your picklist value from the Campaign Item field: AdServer Status.

Our mapping recommendations

Our recommendations are based on the default Picklist Values for the field AdServer Status. If you use your own values, you need to create new mappings. You are free to configure your own values and map to all existing statuses in your connected AdServer. You can consult the API documentation of your AdServer to see which status values need to be set.
