Ad Schedule
The Ad Schedule functionality allows you to create granular hourly and daily ad delivery schedules for Onsite Sponsored Products line items.
To create a schedule for your Onsite Sponsored Products line item:
Find the Ad Schedule tool under the larger Schedule heading in Step 1 of the line item creation workflow.
Click the arrow next and choose Run ads on a schedule to reveal a series of three dropdowns that can be used to select your desired schedule: Day(s) of the week, Start Time and End Time.
Choose a day of the week or use the weekday (Monday – Friday) or weekend (Saturday - Sunday) presets.
Input your desired start time, from 12:00 a.m. to End of Day (11:59 p.m.)
Input your desired end time, from 12:00 a.m. to End of Day (11:59 p.m.)
Use the Add button to build out your schedule. You can also input multiple intraday parameters - for instance, you can add multiple rules for Monday, allowing ads to be served from 7:00-9:00 a.m., later in the day from 12:00-2:00 p.m., and 5:00-End of Day.
Ensure that you’ve selected an end time after your start time. If you set conflicting rules – for example –
Monday: 9:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.
Tuesday: 6:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Weekdays (Monday-Friday): 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
The system will take the earliest start time available to each period and the latest possible end time:
Monday: 7:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.
Tuesday: 6:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 7:00 a.m-5:00 p.m.
Click the x on the right of each individual rule to remove it. To reset the schedule entirely, click Run ads all the time.
