To create a new Line, follow these steps:

1. Go to the selected Advertiser and Campaign where you want to create the new Line.
2. Navigate to the Lines dropdown section within the Campaign’s dashboard.
3. Select the ‘New Line’ button to begin the creation process.

Setup

1. Name: Enter a unique name for your new Line to identify it easily.
2. Code: Optional and for reporting purposes.
3. Active Status: The ‘Active’ box is automatically checked, but uncheck it if you want to create an Inactive Line.
4. Select Start and End Dates for your Line if not managed at Campaign Level.
5. Deploy Date: Read-only field that shows the date the Line Item was created.
6. Budget by Spend: Inherited from the Campaign Level
7. Lifetime Cost: The total cost for the Line based on serving dates and bids.
8. Est. Daily Cost: The estimated daily spend if the budget is perfectly distributed and delivers evenly across the selected flight dates. This is not the actual Daily Budget.
9. Budget by Imps: Inherited from the Campaign Level
10. Lifetime Impressions: The approximated total number of impressions the Line will serve in it’s lifetime.
11. Est. Daily Imps: The estimated daily impressions if the budget is perfectly distributed and delivers evenly across the selected flight dates. This is not the actual Daily Budget.
12. Bid Type: Basic Bid, Bid at Floor Price, Advanced Bid Controls
13. Bid Price: The amount you are willing to pay per impression or action.
14. Budget Multiplier: This option allows the user to specify a multiplier on the daily budget. For example, setting a 1.1 multiplier will allow the Line to adjust the daily budget up to 110% of its typical daily budget. The new daily spend is calculated as Budget Multiplier x Daily Budget = New Daily Spend. Keep in mind, the daily budget may adjust based on pacing, and the actual daily spend could exceed the set multiplier.
15. Enable Foot Traffic Reporting: Opt-in to include foot traffic data tracking for your Line.
16. Foot Traffic Lookback: Set the time window for tracking foot traffic data.
17. Custom Model: Enable if you plan to use a custom model for the Line.
18. Enable Line Frequency: This option sets a frequency cap for your Line, determining how often an ad is shown to the same individual user within a specified time frame. You can set the recency, which controls the minimum amount of time between ads shown to the same user.
    • Note that frequency capping is done using IP addresses and can severely limit spend.

Continue to the other sections to complete Line setup.

On the Line Level, you can configure the following settings:

• Daily Pacing Type:
  • Even: Spends both the daily and lifetime budgets as evenly as possible.
  • ASAP: Spends the daily budget as quickly as possible and will spend the lifetime budget evenly.
  • Primetime: Allocates the daily budget based on weighted ‘prime’ times of day.
  • Custom: Customize pacing by selecting weights for specific hours, days, and hours per day.
    • Enable ‘Apply curve to all days’ for custom weights to apply across all days.
    • If disabled, set custom weights for each hour of each day individually.
• Catch-up ASAP: Opt in or out to allow unspent budget to catch up quickly. This will override the daily budget and daily pacing type selected to spend as quickly as possible until the Campaign or Line reaches 100% pacing. Once the Campaign or Line has caught up on any underspent budget, it will return to the selected daily pacing model.
• Daypart in User Time Zone: If applied, dayparts will filter impressions according to the user’s timezone. If unchecked, dayparts will filter impressions according to the pacing timezone selected.
