Add a manual adjustment to a product
Add a manual adjustment to a specific product to make a temporary override to it (e.g., if a sale is driving traffic to a particular site).
Check the impression capacity for the product for which you want to add a manual adjustment.
Or, in the Capacity Tasks panel, select Adjust Manual Forecast, select the product in the Products panel, and then in the Product detail preview select View > Forecast Visibility.
On the Forecast Visibility page, below the Capacity Forecast, in the Adjustments Influencing Forecast section, select the Add/Edit button. The page is redisplayed with the Edit Manual Adjustment section at the top.
In the Edit Manual Adjustment section, select Add New. A new adjustment row appears.
In the Name column, enter a name for the adjustment.
In the Type column, select the type of adjustment:
- Absolute – Changes the forecast by adding or subtracting the value you enter.
- Relative – Changes the forecast based on the percentage that you enter.
- Replace – Changes the actual forecast value (number of impressions) with the value you enter.
- Ceiling – Creates an impressions cap over a period of time, above and beyond spike detection and mitigation.
In the Start and End columns, enter the start and end dates for the adjustment as needed.
In the Daily Amount column, enter the number of daily impressions the product should receive. If you selected Absolute or Relative for the adjustment type, you can enter a negative number using the minus sign (-).
In the Status column, specify the adjustment's status:
- Active – The change takes effect on the dates you selected.
- Inactive – The change doesn't take effect until you edit the adjustment to make it active.
(Optional) Select Preview Changes to see the adjustment applied in the Capacity Forecast area, as the Modified Manual Adjusted Forecast (Unsaved Changes) line. The original forecast is still displayed in blue. Child products affected by the adjustment appear in the Affected Rate Card Products list below the forecast.
Make any additional changes as needed to the adjustment, and then select Save. The manual adjustment line turns orange, and the original forecast line stays blue.
The changes to the forecast are only reflected in the Forecast Management area. They are not reflected in other parts of Yield Analytics or in the actual placement of ads until the system processes data overnight.
