How to Configure Color Tags in Ads Manager

Updated 

Sprinklr Ads Manager allows you to have an overall view of all your ad entities with a number of customizing options, such as configuring columns viewable at each level. In addition to this, if you want to track specific value ranges and make the edge cases stand out, you can use its Color Configuration.

The color tag configuration allows you to create a color configuration for specific columns in order to group and highlight values based on which actions are to be taken. You can also save this color configuration and use it later.

Use Cases of Color Configuration

Improved visibility

 

You can improve the visibility for edge cases using a color configuration in order to assess them and take necessary actions.

Eg, For campaigns having CTR (click-through rate) less than a certain value, a color configuration can be created to highlight these cases in red.

Bad performance highlight

You can highlight campaigns/ad sets/ad variants that are performing badly by putting a condition on specific metrics.

Eg, If the CPC (cost per click) is greater than a certain value, highlight the ad sets in red. In this way, you can be cautious of the bad-performing campaigns / ad sets / ad variants directly from the Ads Manager. Similarly, for ad variants, if an ad-variant is not receiving minimum threshold impressions, they can be color-coded to highlight them.

Good performance highlight

You can highlight campaigns / ad sets / ad-variants that are performing well based on specific metrics.

Eg, If Impressions are greater than a specific value, highlight those ad-variants in green to notice them in one go in the Ads Manager and take necessary actions.

Segmentation in Ads Manager

Suppose you wish to visually segment your campaigns based on a specific metric, e.g. Spent Level. In that case, you can create levels and associate different colors for high spending, medium spending and low spending campaigns/ad-sets. You can specify values for high, medium, and low spent and associate different colors to have a visual segmentation and better user experience.

Highlight Pacing deviated Campaigns / Ad Sets

To highlight campaigns/ad-sets whose spend is not pacing evenly and deviation rises above a certain rate, the metrics - Ad Set Lifetime Pacing Deviation, etc. can be used to specify a certain rate range and associate a color for the campaigns/ad-sets lying outside the range.
