1. Deal Troubleshooting for a Line

Deal Troubleshooting helps users identify the cause of under-delivery of their deals. It provides transparency on why deals are either under-delivering or having no delivery at all so that users can troubleshoot and prevent “line” under-delivery. A line is a unique set of ads and targeting strategy, and is defined by its own flight dates, budget, billing model, and bid optimization strategy. Every line belongs to a specific campaign and inherits default settings (time zone, currency, budget) from the campaign. Campaign-level flight dates (start and end dates) override line item-level settings (you can’t set up a line with a start date or end date that falls outside the campaign-level dates). Campaign-level frequency caps and budget settings form a cap for the lines under the campaign.
