Saved Line Templates can be used when creating a new Line within a Campaign. Depending on the available Templates, users can select a Custom Line Template created for the Seat or a Public Line Template provided by Pontiac.

To create a new Line from a Template:

1. Navigate to the applicable Campaign.
2. Expand the Line Templates section.
3. Locate the desired Template and select its icon.
4. A new Line will be created using the settings stored in the Template.
5. Review the resulting Line configuration and make any Campaign-specific adjustments.
6. Save the Line when configuration is complete.

Templates provide a starting configuration. Before launch, review applicable budgets, bids, Deals, targeting, pacing, frequency settings, and other Line requirements to confirm they are appropriate for the new Campaign.

For additional details, see Create a Line From Template.

Public Line Templates provide a ready-made starting point for common publisher and inventory strategies. Instead of manually selecting every Deal, bid, and targeting setting, users can select a Public Line Template and begin with a configuration already created by the Pontiac team.

Depending on the Template, the Line may include:

• Relevant Deals
• Advanced bid prices
• Inventory targeting
• Publisher-specific configuration
• Other settings associated with the selected strategy

Users can use the resulting Line as configured or make adjustments before launch.

Available Public Line Templates include:

• 843 – Spectrum
• 868 – ESPN
• 869 – Channel-Network Targeted (Sports Streaming)
• 870 – NFL
• 871 – NBA
• 872 – MLB
• 873 – College Football 2025
• 874 – NFL Live
• 875 – Roku
• 876 – Fire TV
• 877 – Paramount

• 883 – Philo
• 884 – Scripps
• 885 – DirectTV

• 896 – Entertainment
• 897 – Discovery
• 898 – Food & Home Channel-Network
• 907 – Channel-Network Various
• 909 – High Transparency (Deals with over 80% transparency)

Custom Line Templates can be created from an existing Line or from a newly configured Line. Save a Line as a Template when you expect to reuse the same strategy, targeting, bidding, or other configuration in future Campaigns.

To save a Line as a Template:

1. Navigate to the Line page of the Line you want to use as a Template or create a new Line.

2. Select the Save as Template button located at the top right corner.
3. Enter a Name, Description, and Icon for the Line Template.
   • All three are required and the Icon must be a 1:1 aspect ratio.

4. Select Save to save the Line as a template.

You can now use this template later to create a new Line with the same structure. This will help save time, reduce mistakes, and ensure consistency in Line setup. Manage all Campaign and Line Templates on the Seat Level in the Templates tab. For more details, refer to the Create Line from Template documentation.

Saved Line Templates are managed at the Seat level.

To locate an existing Line Template:

1. Navigate to the Templates tab.
2. Expand the Line Templates section.

3. Locate the Template by its Name, Description, or Icon.
4. Select the Template Name to open and review its saved configuration. From the Template page, users can View, Edit, or Clone the Template.
   • Changes made to a saved Template will apply when the Template is used to create future Lines; they do not update Lines that were previously created from the Template.

Select Edit from the applicable Line Template to update the configuration that will be used when creating future Lines.

Setup Section

In the Setup section, edit the following fields:

• Name: Enter a unique name for your new Line Template to identify it easily.
• Inventory Type: Web, In App, Combined
• Active Status: Check the ‘Active’ box if you want the Line to be live, but uncheck it if you want to create an Inactive Line or to pause the Line.
• Code: Optional and for reporting purposes.
• Bid Type:
  • Basic Bid: Standard bid price applied across all inventory of the Line.
  • Bid at Floor Price: The maximum bid price and CPM floor allowed for an auction.
  • Advanced Bid Controls: A feature that allows setting a maximum bid price for Deals, giving more control over bid adjustments and spending limits.
• Bid Price: The bid price determines how much you are willing to spend based on the selected bid type. For Advanced Bid Controls, set a Default Bid Price and custom bid prices. Deals must be associated at the Campaign and Line level to allow for custom bid prices. When new Deals are added to the Line if a custom bid is not set, the bid price will default to the value set in the Default Bid Price field on the Line.
• Budget Multiplier: This feature 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.
• Enable Foot Traffic Reporting: Foot Traffic Reporting allows you to enter specific commercial addresses and track whether users that were served your Ads visited those locations.
• Foot Traffic Lookback: Set the time window for tracking foot traffic data.
• Template Description: A brief explanation that helps you and other users understand the purpose of the Template.
• Icon: An image that makes the template easily identifiable, helping users quickly recognize it.
