Basic QA checklist

This violates Better Ads Standards and may result in not being able to run on publisher inventory.

Smooth animation and fading or sliding scene transitions are allowed.

Studio automatically checks the size of the backup image you upload. An error message is displayed if the file size is too large.

Most publishers require that your backup image has a file size under 50kb. Optimize your image to reduce file size, or use a simpler image.

Most publishers require all creatives to have a solid border around the creative to better separate it from page content. Add a 1 pixel solid border that contrasts with the creative's background color.

For example:

• If the creative has a black background, add a light grey border.
• If the creative has a white background, add a black border, and so on.

If clicking the close button doesn't collapse the creative, or the expanded <div> is still visible, check the creative's code. The close button's click event handler should include a call to Enabler.requestCollapse() or Enabler.requestFullscreenCollapse() (for fullscreen expansions).

Check creative dimensions were correctly entered, and match the dimensions of the collapsed creative with the size in Studio's Creatives tab. Also make sure the Enabler is being initialized correctly.

Check your publisher's dimension requirements to make sure both the creative assets and the dimensions in Studio are correct.

If the asset dimensions are correct, edit the creative size in Studio to match the asset's size.

To change the creative's size:

1. Open the creative in Studio by clicking the creative name from the Dashboard tab. This will take you to the "Manage files" step of the creative workflow.
2. Next to the creative name, click the pencil icon to edit the creative details .
3. Use the "Size" drop-down menu to select the correct size.
4. Click Save.

If the Studio size is correct, change the size of the asset to match.

Check the creative's code. The creative may be using a standard HTML link tag. Replace the <a> tag with a call to Enabler.exit().

Check the creative's code. The creative may be using a standard HTML link tag. Replace the <a> tag with a call to Enabler.exit().

Check the creative's code. The exit method may have a typo or may not have been called correctly.

Check the creative's code. The creative may be using a clicktag, which doesn't work in Studio creatives, or a standard HTML link tag. Replace the <a> tag with a call to Enabler.exit() to make sure the clickthrough behaves correctly and gets counted in campaign reports.

Check the creative's code. The creative may be missing a necessary Enabler method to stop or start the custom timer, or the methods may be referencing the wrong timer ID.

Check the creative's code. The creative may be missing a necessary Enabler method to fire the counter, or it may be using the wrong counter ID.

Check your publisher's dimension requirements to make sure both the creative assets and the dimensions in Studio are correct.

If the asset dimensions are correct, edit the creative size in Studio to match the size of the collapsed creative.

If clicking the expand call to action doesn't expand the creative, check the creative's code. The expand button's click event handler should include a call to Enabler.requestExpand() or Enabler.requestFullscreenExpand() (for fullscreen expansions).

Some publishers require automatically expanding creatives to collapse after a set time. If your publisher requires this, and the creative isn't collapsing automatically, check the creative's code. Include a function with a timer that calls Enabler.requestCollapse() after 15 seconds (or your publisher's required time limit).

This is generally OK for creatives that are run on Italian publishers, but most other publishers require that the user interacts in some way before audio can play. Change the creative so that the audio only starts when a user wants it to.

Change the creative so that all audio is stopped when any exit is clicked. Listen for the EXIT event and stop all sound sources in your creative.

Example code:

if (!Enabler.isInitialized()) {
  Enabler.addEventListener(studio.events.StudioEvent.INIT, enablerInitialized);
} else { 
  enablerInitialized();
}

function enablerInitialized() {
  Enabler.addEventListener(studio.events.StudioEvent.EXIT, stopSounds);
}

Video with full audio should only be started by the user. Videos can autoplay with no sound, but usually for a limited amount of time. Check the publisher's specifications to be sure, but typically the limit is 30 seconds.

Most publishers require auto-playing video to pause after 30 seconds of play. However, if the viewer clicks on any video controls, the video can continue to play.
