Before a creative can run on a series it will need to be uploaded to Dovetail. Ads are referred to as creatives in Dovetail - so that is how we'll refer to them from here on out.
There are two ways to upload creatives. Select the method that you prefer.
Via the Creatives Tab
Directly into a flight
To Upload Via the Creatives Tab
1. Navigate to the Creatives section via the hamburger menu in the top left corner of Augury.
2. Select the + New Creative button in the bottom right corner of the screen
3. Give your creative a name. Ideally something that represents the contents of the ad at a glance.
4. Select the type of ad audio; either an Mp3 that you'll upload locally or a VAST URL which pulls content from another ad server.

-
If Mp3 - upload the audio file for the ad by selecting choose file

If VAST - select VAST and paste the URL into the dialogue box provided.

5. Select the appropriate Owner group account and Advertiser from their respective dropdown menus
6. Finally click Create Creative to save your creative in the system!
Adding a New Creative Directly to a Flight
