Set the Frequency to select the way to define the user uniqueness: by IP or by the user agent. Set how many times per 24 hours the user can see the ad.

For example, you may consider that seeing the same ad for two or three times per day may be more convincing for the user than just one time, but 4th time may be annoying. If you think so, set frequency to 2 or 3.

Select 'Select date range' and set the period if you want the campaign to automatically start and stop according to the selected dates. To select the period, click on date selector, then select start date and select end date.

Select Day Parting to set the exact days or even hours when the campaign must work. Simply click on cells to select them, or if you want to select the entire day, click on the separate cell beside the day name.

IAB Categories – you may set the advertising categories (according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau classification) that characterize your campaign, to make targeting more specific, so that helps to match your campaign with publishers and users who want to see advertising in those categories.

Note: 'category' field is not always present in the request, so try to select more categories (or even not select categories at all) to make targeting wider and get more impressions.

Publisher targeting – gives you the ability to blacklist/whitelist particular app/bundle/domain from the targeting.

Tracking: Impression tracking URL and Postback URL for conversions
