Quick Line Entry
Quick Entry tool uses packages with ratecards which has previously been setup with all details of a line, even with GAM Targeting and other details as setup on the ratecard line. Once user chooses the ratecard line, these values automatically populate the line item fields on the campaign entry screen. This simplifies the line item entry process removing any additional need for user to enter numerous values in all different types of fields every time user enters a new line item. User is still allowed to edit the line items details to fit the specific needs of the campaign and the advertiser.
Create a new campaign and click on the “Save” button on the campaign header. In the pop-up, click on “Quick Entry” button. You can also use the "Quick Line Entry" button from any existing campaign under the Line Items node.
You can then select a package, copy another campaign, or select a Product/Ad Type/Rateline combination:
You can edit the line items if the package is setup to allow editing or deleting items.
Or you can select a product from the drop-down menu and a ratecard line.
Note that once you choose the ratecard line, the fields are auto-populated with the values from the ratecard. You can still change the fields’ values in the line as you see fit before you add the line to the campaign.
Click on the button “Check Line Inventory” at the bottom of this screen and the system lets you know if there is available inventory or not. Once the inventory is cleared, you can click “Create Lines” to add the line item. If you click Create Lines without having done the inventory check, the system will still check inventory and will prevent the user from proceeding if the inventory is not available (depending upon permissions, user may still be able to proceed)
Note that there is a Discount percentage button which overrides the discount on the campaign header and is applied to each line item you are adding.
Hover over the Qty field inventory mark and note that the system displays inventory available broken by month if the line is running for multiple months.
