Defining Advertising Sizes

The Advertisement Size Code is one of four 6-character (maximum) codes that automatically creates the product code during advertising product creation.

In the case of print advertisements, because a page percentage is associated with ad size, it is also used in calculating the number of pages of advertisements that have been sold for a particular issue or media.

4. Enter the Description in the text box.

5. Enter the Ad Size Percent in the text box.

6. Enter the Frequency Credit Quantity in the text box.

7. If necessary, uncheck the Active checkbox.
