Daily Cap Overrides
The Platform supports two monthly and three daily (automated, fixed, none) pacing options which apply to the line item’s entire flight and consider the line item’s total budget.
The Daily Cap Override is an additional daily cap that is optional. Users can use a Daily Cap Override to set a distinct budget cap for a specific day or period within the line item’s flight.
With a Daily Cap Override, brands and advertisers can schedule spend in advance and control exactly when and how much a line item can spend.
How does a Daily Cap Override work?
Setting a Daily Cap Override is optional. Whenever it is relevant, the budget cap specified by the Daily Cap Override will supersede the budget cap set by the Daily Pace setting.
During non-applicable days, pacing will be determined by the Daily Pace amount.
