Advertising Category

Based on the categories assigned to your inventory within DOmedia, you can filter your search results by selecting specific formats.

Note that each category has the "all" and "none" feature that allows you to automatically select or deselect all or none of the options in that category. Additionally, the orange buttons in the top right hand corner allow you to filter categories based on digital formats.



Clients and Other Data

Under the 'Filter Results By' menu, you can filter your search based on Client, as well as other data you may inputted about inventory, including Impressions/Cycle, Weeks/Cycle, Read Direction, Face Direction, and visible/hidden assets.



Restrictions

If you have certain restrictions applied to your assets, you can filter those in the Restrictions menu. Selecting one or more of the options will exclude assets with that restriction(s) from the search results.





Availability

As your units are contracted through DOmedia, we'll keep track of which units are freely available, in active proposals, that have been contracted, or in any other status along the way.

By filtering Availability, we'll cross reference our data with the criteria you enter here to show you which units may or may not be available.

Availabilty Types

  • Available - notes available inventory (this is the default for all inventory)
  • Proposed - inventory that has been issued in a proposal or a buyer created RFP
  • Propose & Hold - inventory that has been issued in a proposal with a 'Hold Until' or 'Hold Expiration' date assigned (this date can be assigned on Step 3 of the proposal process)
  • Contract Pending - inventory that has been included in any contract issued by a buyer or seller but is not yet an Approved Contract
  • Contracted - inventory that has been included in a buyer or seller created contract that has also been approved by the seller
  • Contracted-Preemptable - inventory that you have marked as such through our Inventory Status tool and denotes assets that have been contracted at a low rate and can be relinquished if there is another buyer willing to pay more
  • Off Market - inventory that has been marked as such through our Inventory Status tool and denotes a status of 'Off Market' due to various reasons such as maintenance
  • Perms - inventory that has been marked as such through our Inventory Status tool and denotes assets that are not available for a long period of time
