  • Priority: The rule's priority. Rules are checked against every impression in priority order.

  • Description: Text description of the rule (optional).

  • Hard floor: The hard floor set within the rule. This is the lowest price you will accept for this inventory.

  • Soft floor: The soft floor set within the rule. This is the lowest price to which the winning bid will be reduced. (Not applicable if Floor Optimization is turned on.)

  • Floor Optimization: Whether Floor Optimization is turned on or off. Floor Optimization programmatically sets a new floor for each impression. See Floor Optimization for more information.
