Orders, Line Items, creatives, and links between Line Items and creatives each have their own status. Activating or archiving one object does not necessarily change the status of the others. After a change, review each object’s status on its detail page.

​
Order status

To change an Order’s status, open it from Orders and select Activate, Archive, or Restore on its detail page. Review the confirmation dialog, confirm the action, and check the updated status. Archiving an Order also archives its non-archived Line Items and cancels their assignments. Review their delivery status before archiving the Order.

​
Line Item status

Select Activate on a draft Line Item’s detail page to move it to Ready. A draft Line Item cannot be assigned to inventory. To end or stop using an item, select Archive on its detail page. Archiving cancels its linked allocations. While the item is archived, existing allocations are shown but their status cannot be changed. Read and confirm the dialog, then check the updated status and allocation state.

​
Edit limits during delivery

  • You cannot change the ad type after creating the Line Item.
  • For a Preparing or Delivering Line Item, the start time cannot be changed and the end time cannot be shortened. You can extend the end time, but not beyond the Order end time.
If a field is disabled or saving fails, check the Line Item status, the Order period, and the validation message.

​
Temporary stop versus ending delivery

Orders and Line Items have no Pause status or button. To stop one creative, deactivate its link in the creative’s links list. If the Line Item has a Published assignment, you cannot deactivate the link and can only adjust its schedule. Archive is not a pause. Archiving an Order also archives its non-archived Line Items and cancels their assignments, and archiving a Line Item cancels its linked assignments. Restoring does not bring cancelled assignments back, so select Request approval again or request a new assignment to deliver again. To stop or end a Published assignment, ask your operator; a Finished assignment cannot be requested again. For actions by assignment status, see Request an inventory assignment and the operator guide Review and manage assignments.

​
Restore an archived item

  • An Order can be restored with Restore before its end date.
  • A Line Item can be restored with Restore when its Order is active, its start time is in the future, and its end time is after its start. A restored Line Item returns to Ready.
  • Restoring an Order does not restore its archived Line Items or cancelled assignments. Restore each Line Item separately and request the assignments again.
