Liners & Live Mentions

vPromotions Liner Types

Liners and live mentions can be scheduled and managed in lots of different ways in vPromotions:

  • Promotion Liners that are attached to promotions scheduled on the Home Calendar
  • Program Liners that schedule directly and are not in support of a Promotion
  • Static Liners, Billboards, and PSAs that are listed and tracked, but not scheduled 

Liner Scheduling Methods

There are two ways to schedule liners in vPromotions:

Schedule Liners Immediately On Save (Legacy)

This liner scheduling method automatically schedules each liner as soon as it is written and saved. Each subsequently scheduled liner schedule around the previously scheduled liners.

While this method is simple, it can result in your Liner Grid filling up with lower priority liners that are scheduled far into the future, leaving limited room for higher priority liners that might get scheduled with very little notice.

Schedule Liners According to Priorities Daily

When liners are written and saved using this method, they are saved into the Liner Queue until they are scheduled. Each liner is assigned a priority from 1 (the highest) to 4 (the lowest). Liners are scheduled more like a music scheduler, in passes. more

"Static Liner" Methods

 Static Liners are live mentions that are listed rather than scheduled. There are three types:

  • Static Liners
  • Billboards
  • PSAs
