3. Template Styles (optional)

The same collection of elements can make up different end-designs. For example, a headline, subtitle and image, can make up many different layouts/orientations.

The different styles that template can form, can be configured here. Eg: image_left or image_right.

After selecting a template the ad creation flow, you will have the option to select what styles this ad supports. Any styles configured at this point will be selectable, ads can support more than one style.

Every template will have a default style of default

4. Template Events (optional)

Define the events you want to track. Tracking can be as granular as needed such as button clicks, opening modals etc. The response from the Decision Engine will contain the tracking events defined here.

By default, an impression tracking event will always be returned in the Decision Engine's response

5. Connect to placement (optional)

You may not want to allow all templates to be shown in all placements, so it is necessary to connect compatitble placements and templates before creating ads.

When creating an ad, a placement and template must be selected. The template options will be the templates that you have previously connected to the selected placement.
