Certifying Ads
The Certificate/Voucher file is used to certify that an ad has appeared. By certifying users can differentiate between the ads that have appeared from the ones that have not yet appeared and whether they appeared correctly or with an issue.
After choosing relevant filters, click on "Search" to view the list of ads with details. Enter some text in the Certificate/ Voucher no. field to signify that the ad is certified.
In cases of magazines and newspapers ads, most agencies use the page number on which the ad has appeared.
Certification options can be configured in the Media Types file, which will restrict users to select from a fixed list of certificate options. For more information, check Configuring certification options.
Ads can be automatically certified on the basis of Ad monitoring data as explained in Automatic certification by importing Ad monitoring data
Entering the Certificate/Voucher number with round brackets helps indicate that the ad is not perfectly certified. This is useful to indicate ads not accepted for a variety of reasons. For more information, check Wrong Ads.
