New account settings

The ACCOUNT SETTINGS view is going to be extended with 3 new options:

  • Default number of listed campaigns/orders/surrounds - you may define how many items to display in campaign, order and surround lists by default.
  • Remember search filter - you may have previously used search filters remembered by the system. This setting is turned on by default.
  • Default columns in campaign list – you may choose the columns to be displayed in campaigns list. The selectable columns are as follows: advertiser, creation date, start date, end date, impression mode, prediction, statistics, time zone, priority, sov, comments.

Campaign name, type and status are always visible and cannot be hidden. In order to set visible columns, just click on the column names while holding the CTRL button on your keyboard. Currently visible columns (prior to the release) are going to be selected here by default.

New option for creative templates: comments

Comments may be added form now on to template parameters to act as contextual help. Creative template programmers are able to display important information and a little help where necessary. The new option for this feature is called 'comments' and should be used like this: comment_en='my help for traffickers' (where 'en' may be substituted by any other supported language code).

CTR in publisher statistics

CTR indicator is going to be available for publisher statistics. To see CTR numbers, please select the CTR entry from the list of statistics at the top of the view.

Improved collision interface

Campaigns and orders in the collision view are going to have those statistics displayed for them, according to which the delivery is planned. Moreover, progress is also going to be based on the number of counted events (not impressions exclusively). The number of all events for an order equals the number of all counted events. Progress is not presented in case of unlimited delivery plans. The planned number of events for a campaign equals the sum of planned events of all contained orders, if every order is based on the same indicator.

Calendar widget for time period definition of statistics

We are adding calendar widgets to the time period definition fields in STATISTICS menu. Just click in the Start date or End date field in order to make the calendar visible.
