Quantcast Platform supports the scheduling of creatives in ad set configurations. You can specify when a creative is live during an ad set's lifetime. This allows you to schedule a creative to deliver budget in a user-defined period of time/dates.
Scheduling Creatives
In the Creative section on the ad set setup page, after you have attached creatives to the ad set, select the checkbox on the left side of the creatives you want to schedule, then click Edit Schedule button.
On the date picker, choose the dates that you would like the specified creatives to deliver.
Note: You can click and drag and/or shift + click to select long ranges of dates more easily. Disjointed dates can also be selected. You can then click Save to save the schedules.
The calendar widget also contains Reset and Clear buttons.
Reset will reset the schedules to the previously configured schedules. If this is the first time configuring schedules on a creative, it will set the creative to run continuously.
Clear will clear all schedules configured on the creative/creatives and set them to run continuously.
The configured schedules are displayed in the Schedule column on the Creative tray.
Caveats
This feature is only available for ad sets with end dates specified, i.e. ad sets with daily budgets that run indefinitely cannot set schedules on creatives.
The dates selected as a schedule for a creative are dates in the account timezone.
Scheduling at a time granularity is not supported by this feature.
When using this feature, an error message will be shown if there are dates during the ad set's lifetime when no creatives are scheduled. The user will not be able to save and publish the ad set if this is the case.
