Reminder: updating the Day Parting, Days of the Week, and Selecting Screens will change how the frequency works. If you have a creative scheduled for only Mondays while the rest of your creatives are on all days of the week that one creative will run less since it can only run on one day.
You want to schedule an Ad and you know what campaign it is in
Make sure you are using the account you would like to schedule an ad for by clicking on the account switcher on the top right of the screen and selecting the correct account.
From this home page, you can select the campaign you wish to schedule from.
You will now see a list of ads. Find the ad you wish to set a schedule for and click on the calendar icon or the billboard icon to the right of the photo. (You can also use the filter bar to find the Ad)
From the calendar icon you will be able to set Start and Stop dates, limit the times of the day for an ad, or select specific days of the week for an ad to play.
From the billboard icon you will be able to schedule the ad on one or multiple screens from your campaign. It is defaulted to be shown on all of your screens.
Notice if a calendar/billboard icon is the teal color, it is because it has a schedule. Click on the icon to see what days/screens it has scheduled.
Notice if the title of the ad is grey, it is being skipped for some reason (is the schedule set for a different day/time than now?)
You might have to refresh the page to see the different colors.
