Manage labels

Apply labels

Add labels to line items, orders, companies and more

You can include labels on advertisers, ad units, creatives, line items, orders, and companies, which become available to use across your entire Ad Manager network. Depending on the label type and how you plan to use a label, you may apply it to more than one item. The following lists indicate where a given label can be applied.

Remove labels

If a label that was inherited from an advertiser doesn't apply to a particular order or line item, you can remove the label. When you remove a label from an advertiser, it will also be removed from all of the advertiser's orders and line items. Likewise, when you remove a label from an order, it will also be removed from all of the order's line items.

You can ensure that a label will always be assigned to an order or line item by adding the label specifically to that order or line item instead of relying on the label being automatically inherited.

To remove a label, click the X on the label.

Apply labels to different items

Labels are applied to different items across Ad Manager depending on your goals or ad serving needs.

Inventory 

Labels to inventory are set for two reasons:

You can apply these labels either for individual ad units or for all ad units across your network. There may be cases, for instance, where you want to ensure that ads, no matter where they show, are capped on a per users basis. Similarly, you might have some templatized HTML or CSS that ensures ads display in a consistent way across your network.
