To determine the request weight

    Use this

    To do this

    Request Weight

    This box appears if you selected the House Ad type on the Ad Properties page.

    Type how frequently you want to display the advertisement, relative to all the other advertisements, for a specific advertiser.

    Dd452504.alert_note(en-US,CS.90).gifNote:
    In a campaign, weight only applies to advertisements that are goaled at the campaign level. If the advertisements are goaled at the item level, weight is not used for paid advertisements. For house advertisements, the weight is relative to all other house advertisements for all customers and all campaigns. For paid advertisements, the weight is relative to other paid advertisements in the same campaign. The weight of an individual advertisement is relative to the weight of all the other advertisements.

    Quantity Ordered

    This box appears if you selected the Paid Ad type on the Ad Properties page.

    Type or select the number of requests from the drop-down list that you want to order for this campaign.

    Dd452504.alert_note(en-US,CS.90).gifNote:
    Changing the quantity ordered may cause a mismatch between the campaign-level goals and the item-level goals. The Marketing System does not enforce that the campaign-level goals and the item-level goals add up to the campaign total. The Marketing System only honors the item-level goals when it displays the advertisements. We recommend that you verify that the campaign-level goals are still met on the Goaling tab in the Campaign Properties screen.

    Date Received

    By default, this box contains the current date. Date and times are in local time.

    Type or select the date that the customer will receive the advertisement from the drop-down calendar.

    Select each day of the week that you want the advertisement to run.

    All Day

    Clear this box if you do not want the advertisement to run all day.

    End Time
