Api Access should be enabled in your Google AdManager account settings:

Publish your schedule placeholders directly to Google Ad Manager using the Direct integration option.

In addition, you can connect schedules to display Advanced banner formats. We’ll explore how to do this shortly.

To build an Interstitial creative click on Add Banner > Advanced format.

On the right side, you can personalize the appearance of the Interstitial banner by adjusting settings such as backdrop color, responsiveness, close button style, and more.

Now let’s add banners that Advanced format will display. You can add multiple sizes so that on different displays it will load different banner sizes (for example 1080×1080 on a desktop and 300×600 on mobile display).

You can also specify the rule on where do you want to show specific banner size (mobile/tablet/desktop). 

You can also add a Schedule Placeholder instead of a predefined banner. This will allow you to schedule what will be displayed in advance.

Once all banner/schedule sizes are added click Publish to generate the Embed code/Ad tag. If you will need to do some updates to this banner in future (add more sizes or change styles) – just edit the advanced banner and click Save ( the Ad tag will remain the same ).

An example of Interstitial advanced banner format:

Here is the same banner displayed on mobile (it loads a different size that suits more to user’s display).

The Advanced format banners can also be used in Google Ad Manager (Out-of-page ads). Read our tutorial about using Advanced formats in Google Ad Manager.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Find the schedule interval on the calendar. Click on it to open up interval settings. Switch to the REPEAT tab.

2. You can select one of four repeat interval options: Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly.

3. For the Daily repeat option(1) you can create a schedule for Every X days (2) that ends on selected day (3).

4. For the Weekly repeat option (1) you can select Every X weeks (2), Days of the week (3) and End on/After (4).

5. For the Monthly repeat option (1) you can select Every X months on some particular day (2) and End on/After(3).

6. For the Yearly repeat option (1) you can select Every X years on some particular day (2) and End on/After(3).

The repeat interval will be calculated depending on the Schedule’s Timezone Settings, therefore, it may be possible you see different Summary labels (that is, if your account profile timezone is different).

Bannernow Schedule allows you to group multiple banners into a single placeholder.

Banners in a placeholder will be displayed in alternation/rotation based on a schedule (date/time), and a relative weight/frequency rule. The placeholder’s function is to group multiple banners by the same size and locale (so no banners of different sizes or locales will be found within the same placeholder).

How to use this feature:

1. Head over to Schedule by selecting the Schedule tab on the top of the dashboard. Click Add Schedule in order to create a new schedule configuration.

2. Enter a New Title (1) for the Schedule. After this, add the Fallback Bannerset (2), which refers to the default bannerset from which banners will be displayed within the placeholder when no other banners are scheduled in the calendar. Select “schedule timezone” (3), then, “Create” (4).

3. Select the Schedule Title in order to open the calendar and start adding bannersets to a schedule.

4.  On the left pane, you’ll be able to view all bannersets of the current project/campaign.

In order to add banners to schedule, simply drag & drop the desired bannersets to the calendar.

5. When adding a bannerset to the calendar, you’ll be able to choose which banner sizes and locales of a bannerset you need to add to the schedule. This is where you specify which banner sizes and locales will participate in this schedule. These will be selected from the bannerset (if exists), otherwise, it will have defaulted to fallback bannerset.

6. You are able to stretch and drag placeholders on the calendar to adjust the duration and a start date.

7. Click on the placeholder to open up the “settings” menu.

8. In the Settings (1) tab you’re able to set a “Title” for the interval, change bannerset, configure dates and times in which his interval should be active (and display banners), as well as update its color on the calendar. You can also adjust repeating events within the Period (2) tab and show specific banner locales within the Filters (3) tab.

9. In order to update the start/end date for an interval, simply click on “date picker”, select the start date (1), then select the end date (2).

10. The Weight option allows specifying a relative frequency in which banners in this placeholder is displayed.

Example: There are 2 banners (A, and B) that are active on the same date within a certain placeholder. Both these banners are 250×250 in size and have an English locale.

You are able to set weight 2 to interval A and weight 1 to interval B. This means that banners in interval A will be displayed twice as frequently compared to other banners from interval B.

How this is calculated: Total weights are 2 + 1 and it represents 100% of showtime, therefore weight 2 equates to 66% of showtime, and weight 1 to 33%. You can assign any value to the weight depending on your frequency criteria.

11. Schedule may contain as many placeholders and intervals as needed.

12. Right panel Placeholders shows all sizes and locales that participate in this schedule.

13. In order to publish a schedule click on the option “Publish”. You can publish placeholders using an embed code, or by going directly into the DoubleClick DFA/DFP account. This option can be done after configuring the integration from profile settings.

14. Select placeholder sizes for which you would like to get embed codes.

15. Select the Languages you want to publish.

16. Copy the EMBED CODE and paste into the desired ad network/exchange or utilize the direct publishing method.

Each placeholder is a combination of 1 size and 1 language and can contain multiple banners from different bannersets (which contain banners with the same size and translation).

If you have connected the Ad Network to your BannerNow account – you can publish your Ad Tags directly from Schedule Publish modal.
