Keywords used for targeting. Instructions here.

CustomTargetingstring

Zerkel string for Custom targeting. Instructions here. The maximum string length for CustomTargeting is 1000 characters.

CustomFieldsJSONstring

Sets the value of custom fields based on a custom fields schema. Must contact support before use. More info here.

IsFreqCapboolean

Set to true if doing capping. If false or null, then the other Freq fields are ignored. Learn more about FC here. If not already enabled, you'll need your account manager to enable it.

FreqCapinteger

The number of times the frequency cap should occur. Cannot be 0 unless FreqCapType is None (0).

FreqCapDurationinteger

Specifies how often the frequency cap should occur. Cannot be 0 unless FreqCapType is None (0).

FreqCapTypeinteger

Specifies which unit of time you would like frequency capping to occur. Key: 1 = Hour 2 = Day 3 = Minute.

DontAffectParentFreqCapboolean

If true, opts-it out of frequency cap settings imposed at advertiser or campaign level.

IsCompanionboolean

If true, enables companion ads. IsCompanion must be set to false when IsNoDuplicates is true, and vice versa. Learn more here.

isNoDuplicatesboolean

If true, enables no duplicates. IsCompanion must be set to false when IsNoDuplicates is true, and vice versa.

DuplicateModeinteger

Indicates which level no duplicates should be enforced on. Key follows: 1: Flight 2: Campaign 3: Advertiser 4: Creative.

Sets the order of a flight in the adChain. PassbackSortOrder is a transient value that can be modified by internal processes in the UI. Although the value may change, the actual sort order of flights in the adChain will remain consistent. Setting two flights to the same PassbackSortOrder will cause the flights to be chosen randomly. Setting PassbackSortOrder to 0 will cause the flight to appear as "--" in the UI, but the flight will still be part of the adChain. This is not recommended.
