Below are the definitions for the columns included in your Bulk AIP Update template. The only cells you need to populate when updating your AIPs in bulk are the AIP Start Position, Max Ads, and Max Duration.
- Episode ID - An ART19 identifier for your episode.
- Episode GUID - The Globally Unique Identifier published to your RSS feed. It never changes, even if you change hosting services.
- Unique Content ID - An ART19 identifier that updates when changes are made to episode media files. It is used by ART19 to verify versions of an episode to ensure marker placements are compatible.
- Episode Title - The title of your episode.
- Release Date - The published or scheduled date and time for the episode, in UTC.
- Position Type - The position type for an ad insertion point. There are three: pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll.
- Inherit From Primary - AIPs in your alternate feeds that are inherited from your Primary Feed are marked “Y” for “Yes.” If the cells are empty, the AIP is not inherited from your Primary Feed. Changes made on alternate feed AIPs are not reflected back to the Primary Feed. You only see this column when you download AIP templates from alternate feeds.
- AIP Start Position - The position (in seconds) where the AIP is placed for the specified position type.
- Max Ads - The maximum number of ads that can run per ad insertion point.
- Max Duration - The maximum total seconds of ads that can play in this marker. If there is extra time, there won't be any silence when your ad creative ends; it automatically returns to your episode content. Ads will not insert if the entire ad cannot fit within the maximum duration time.
- Priority_1 - Configures marker priorities within your AIP. There can be 1, 2, 3, or more columns depending on the number of priorities in the AIP. See How do I target specific campaigns with Bulk AIP priorities?
