Creative Schedules are now available, providing advanced control and flexibility over your campaign’s scheduling. This feature allows you to set specific dates, days of the week, and times for each creative within a single booking, streamlining campaign management and enabling more precise audience targeting.
Player Version: Players must be on version 5.4.3 or higher to support Creative Schedules.
Features:
Custom Scheduling: Define exact playtimes for each creative to match audience patterns and high-impact times.
Streamlined Management: Consolidate all schedules within one booking, eliminating the need for multiple bookings.
Targeted Delivery: Align creative display with peak audience times to ensure your content reaches the right people at the right time.
Flexible Time Blocks: Set multiple time slots per day, which allows you to structure creatives around audience behaviours.
Multiple Schedules Per Creative: Assign multiple schedules to individual creatives, enabling varied delivery times for greater reach and impact.
Interaction with Existing Features:
Booking Schedule Alignment: Creative Schedules must fall within the Booking Schedule dates to display correctly. Creative schedules outside of the booking’s schedule will not be played.
Inventory Reporting: The Inventory Report reflects the entire booking period, not individual Creative Schedules. Even if a creative’s schedule is set to play only on specific days, the report shows the slots as fully booked for the full period.
Conflict Prompts: If any Creative Schedule conflicts with the Booking Schedule, the system will prompt you to adjust or ignore the discrepancy.
Precise Management: Ensure only authorised individuals can view or manage specific items within your resources.
Enhanced Control: Specify access permissions to individual rows within resources like devices, campaigns, and bookings, allowing only selected individuals access.
