Create and select ad types

Ad types for all non-radio business types are like dayparts for radio. You can use ad types and ad placement information to identify the rows in your NTR (non-traditional revenue) schedule.

You will create and select ad types for each NTR (non-traditional revenue) schedule. You cannot share or view them from one schedule or proposal to the next. However, Tapscan transfers ad types when you use Save As to create a new schedule or when you copy a schedule to a new proposal.

1. From the NTR tab, access the Ad Types dialog from the Add Flight dialog or the Add Ad Types to Flight dialog. See Related topics... below for more information.

2. Create new ad types:

• Click the Create New Ad Type button at the bottom of the dialog.

• Type a name for the ad type.

Maximum 35 keyboard characters, except ~ (tilde) and | (pipe), for both ad type and ad placement boxes. You can use the same ad type name more than once as long as the corresponding ad placement is different.

• Optionally, type the ad placement description.

• Click OK.

The new ad type displays in the Available and Selected boxes.

• Repeat this step to create additional ad types for this schedule.
