Adding Insertion Products and Services

For certain types of advertisements, such as those in buyer’s guides and directories, the advertiser includes information about their products and services. When this is done, an index of advertisers by product/service categories is also provided in this type of advertising media.

Products and services are maintained at the advertiser customer level. If you want to add products/services to an insertion order, you can select the products/services you want included from a list and they are automatically copied into the insertion order.
