Line Item Creation Fields

10. Line Item name*: Enter your desired line item name.

11. Start date*: This is your desired start date for the line item. The start date can't be before the creation time of the line item. By default, the time at the start of the day (00:00) on the chosen start date will be set for the line item as the start time. The line item won't be able to run (and spend its budget) before the start time, regardless of its status.

12. End date*: This is your desired end date for the line item. The end date has to be after the start date of the line item (or the same day if you want your line item to run on a single date). By default, the time at the end of the day (23:59) on the chosen end date will be set for the line item as the end time. The line item won't be able to run (and spend its budget) after the end time, regardless of its status.

13. Budget*: This is the maximal amount of money the line item is allowed to spend in the period of time between the start date and the end date. The budget currency will by default be the same as your account currency. 

14. Bidding Type*: This is how the line items will bid. Depending on your choice, different inventory sources and bidding methods can be used. You can choose either CPM (cost per mille), meaning that your will bid on impressions, or CPC (cost per click), meaning that you will be bidding on clicks.

15. Bid: This is the initial value for your line item bid. It will then be updated by the platform A.I. optimization engine to maximize the efficiency of your Line Items.

16. Max Bid*: This is the upper limit value that a bid can have for any line item within the line item. The given value to the line item bids by the platform A.I. optimization engine can't be higher than the Max Bid. The max bid currency will by default be the same as your account currency. When choosing your desired max bid value, take your chosen Bidding Type into consideration (see item 11).

17. Frequency Cap: This is the time period during which the frequency of exposure of any given internet user will be measured. During this time period, an internet user won't be able to see your line items's ads more times than the chosen Frequency value (see item 14). The Frequency Cap can be either "Hourly" or "Daily".

18. Frequency: This is how many times at most an internet user can see your line item's ads during the Frequency Cap period (see item 13).

19. Pacing Cap: This is the time period used as a reference when comparing how much your line item spends compared to the Max Pacing amount (see item 16). The Pacing Cap can be either "Hourly" or "Daily". 

21. Max Pacing Amount: This is how much at most your line item can spend during the Pacing Cap period (see item 15).
