Creatives Tool
Guaranteed Campaigns module
The Bundle Editor allows you to:
-
Create and edit bundles, including basic information like the bundle's name and advertiser.
-
Download media files from a Bundle on your device.
-
Remove a creative from a bundle.
To access the bundle editor, click the name of an existing bundle or the Create Bundle button.
Bundles can have only images, only videos, only audio, or a mix of the three types.
Note: The Bundle Requirements section is available only from the Guaranteed Campaigns module.
The Bundle Editor lists the required creative resolutions and durations for screens selected in the campaign under the Bundle Requirements section. Each line represents a screen.
When uploading and adding creatives to the bundle, the system will match them to screens based on the following:
- The duration of the ad slot vs the duration of the creative. The duration of creatives must be within 0.5 seconds of the ad slots chosen for the campaign.
- The resolution.
- The aspect ratio (if no resolution match is found).
Note: If the system does not find a matching resolution, the player will look for a creative with the aspect ratio that has the largest width.

You can select the schedule line type to use for your campaign.
- Base Schedule – The base schedule allows you to play the selected creatives when you do not have a custom schedule configured. The base schedule offers continuous, all-day coverage, and is used to fill all the gaps in your other schedules.
