Line Item Scheduling

You can now assign schedules to specific line items within a campaign, giving you far more control over when and where individual parts of your campaign run. Choose whether a schedule applies to all line items or only a selected subset, making it easier to orchestrate complex campaigns, tailor message delivery, and accommodate client-specific requirements.

This enhancement reduces the need for manual workarounds and increases confidence in accurate playback by ensuring each line item follows the intended timing and delivery rules.

Screen Allocation API – New Broadsign-Hosted Storage

The Screen Allocation API now offers a Broadsign-Hosted Storage option. With this option, there is no need to set up any storage on your end or provide credentials. The service will generate the report and return a pre-signed download URL directly in the response. The link stays valid for 24 hours.

Open a Broadsign Platform Module in an Iframe

It is possible to integrate one or more Platform modules in an iframe for custom integrations in other tools.

Added

• The Static Operations module is now fully integrated in the Broadsign Platform interface, eliminating the need for URL-based navigation that opens in a new browser page. See Static Operations.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue preventing the download of the Design file.



• Fixed an issue where data import logs did not display error messages due to the size of the logs.

Default Preemptible and Rebalancing Priority Settings

A user assigned the Admin or Direct Sales Admin role can now set the following default priorities in the Domain Settings:

• Default Priority used when creating Preemptible line items.
• Default Rebalancing Priority Level used when creating a line item.

Takeover Fill Rate

When you book a Takeover, the Fill Rate column displays the occupancy of the screens before the takeover. This allows you to make informed decisions and book the Takeover on screens with a lower occupancy. For example, if you want to book a Takeover on 50 bus shelter screens and you know the occupancy of all bus shelter screens, you can select the 50 screens with the lowest occupancy. By doing this, you fulfill the Takeover campaign and minimize the impact on existing campaigns.

Programmatic Settings

The Programmatic tab provides the tools needed for media owners to configure the Header Bidder information. For more details, see Header Bidder Feature in the Programmatic Campaigns documentation.

Criteria Targeting

Added a new contextual filter screen targeting that allows you to target specific venues and screens by selecting particular criteria. By assigning criteria to screens, you can ensure that your content is displayed only on the most relevant screens within your network.

Clone a Line Item with Shared Goal

It is now possible to clone a line item that uses Shared goals.
