Tutorial: Bulk Editing

This video shows an earlier version of TAP. The general principles discussed remain the same, but some features and UI elements might have changed.

Tip: Bulk Editing and Filtering

Bulk editing is particularly effective when combined with filtering as a way to find items to bulk edit.

You can only select the number of visible items in a list for bulk editing, not the full list of items that match your filtering criteria. If you get more results than can appear on one page, change Items per page limit to a number that lets you see all of your results on the same page.

Examples

Examples of ways to save time with bulk editing:

  • Set a group of advertisers to Inactive status.

  • Change the currency or IAB categories of a group of advertisers.

  • Approve or decline a group of campaigns.

  • Pause a group of flights.

  • Change the content type, pacing, priority, or position of a group of flights.: Reassign the Trafficker for a Group of Campaigns

You can also change the account executive or trafficker assigned to a group of campaigns. For example, a trafficker, Fred Docco, has won the lottery and quit his job. Your task is to assign all of his campaigns to another trafficker, Beyonce MacGuffin.

  1. In the campaigns list, filter the campaigns to show Not archived, since you cannot change the trafficker on an archived campaign, and only show the campaigns assigned to Fred Docco.

  2. Select all items in the filtered list that appears.

  3. At the bottom of the page, select Bulk edit campaigns > Trafficked by.

  4. Select Beyonce MacGuffin in the trafficker's list, and click Bulk edit.

    Result: Fred Docco's campaigns are assigned to Beyonce MacGuffin.
