Overview

You can apply a group volume to multiple insertions in a campaign. The insertions will use this volume as a shared volume. 

Select insertions

Follow these steps to select the insertions sharing the group volume:

1. Go to the insertion list of the campaign.
2. Select the checkboxes of the insertions.
3. On the top right, expand the dropdown menu and click Create a group volume

Specify group volume

Specify the group volume for the selected insertions:

• Goal volume: specify the target volume shared by the insertions that Equativ's delivery engine will attempt to reach.
  Available goal volumes: Impressions, Clicks, Viewable impressions, Impressions per day, Clicks per day, Video completes, Video starts, Video 1st quartile, Video midpoints, Video 3rd quartile, Downloads, Likes, Reblogs, Shares, Comments, User engagements.
• Max. daily volume: specify the maximum volume per day (clicks or impressions). Once reached, delivery is paused for the rest of the day and resumes at 00:00 the following day. A Max. daily volume is not treated as a goal to be reached but rather as a daily volume ceiling.
• Click Save.

Delivery behavior  

The group volume is dynamically allocated to insertions based on their respective eligible inventory. To maximize balanced delivery, it is recommended to assign the same priority and delivery mode to all insertions.

In addition to the group volume, you can specify volumes in individual insertions that are part of the group volume. Such volumes are treated as a minimum goal, but there is no guarantee that the volumes in individual insertions are reached. When combining a Max. daily impression volume and a Max. daily click volume, the insertion will pause as soon as one of the two volumes is reached and resumes delivery at 00:00 the following day.

  • Remove insertions from the group volume using the X button.
