# Ad Quality/Exclusivity Rules Usage Notes

> [!NOTE]
> **Ad Quality and Exclusivity Rules can only be created and edited by** [**Organization Administrators**](/user/docs/user-roles)**.**
> 
> Be aware that creating ad quality rules can affect delivery of advertising campaigns. Use with caution.

Unless otherwise indicated, these usage notes apply to both Ad Quality rules and Exclusivity Rules.

### Forecasting

Ad Quality rules and Exclusivity rules will be integrated into [forecasting](/v1/docs/inventory-availability-forecasting) in an upcoming release of TAP.

### Target specific stations/podcasts

**Important!** (**Ad Quality rules only**.) Remember that if you do not target specific stations/podcasts in the **Targeting** section, ***all stations/podcasts*** *are targeted by the* ***ad quality rule*** (unless you create the rule as a [draft](/v1/docs/ad-qualityexclusivity-rules-usage-notes#creating-rules-as-draft)).

### Creating rules as DRAFT

Select **Create as draft** at the top of the **New Ad Quality Rule** page to create the rule as a draft that is not activated until its [status](/user/docs/status) changes to **Active**. This is useful for when you want to create the rule now but not target any podcasts until later.

You must select **Create as Draft** **before** you save the rule; once the rule is saved as Active it cannot be changed to "Draft."
