Use the Preview step of the Dynamic Content tab to preview every iteration of your dynamic creative.
The preview in Dynamic Content is different from the Preview step in the Creatives tab. The Preview in the Creatives tab only shows you the creative template and any testing values used in the assets. The Preview in Dynamic Content shows the actual content from your dynamic feed, and allows you to test different values in any profile fields.
Preview a dynamic creative
Choose which creatives (or feed rows) to preview using drop-down menus to select filtering values from your dynamic profile. These filtering options also allow you to group creative concepts logically and review them in batches by adding them to preview sheets.
The preview will be blank until you add filters. You can filter based on the dynamic criteria (or rules) defined in your dynamic profile or you can filter using unique feed row IDs (formerly called "forced preview").
Preview dynamic creative variants
- Select filters in the right panel.
- Choose a preview type:
- Filter by dynamic criteria: Use to filter feed rows based on the rules you set up in your dynamic profile.
- Filter by feed row ID: Use to preview creative rows in the feed by entering unique values that ignore your dynamic strategy's filtering rules.
Autocomplete is disabled for large feeds
If your profile's feed (or feeds) include more than 10,000 rows, dynamic preview filter drop-downs will not include autocomplete feed values. Instead, type the first 3 or more characters of a value to search. The feed values matching your search will appear in the drop-down.
You also must enter full values if:
- Values are less than 3 characters (for example, country codes)
- Values are dynamic targeting keys (separate multiple keys using commas)
- Use the Creative filter to select which creatives to show in the preview window.
- The filterable columns from your feed appear as drop-downs you'll use as preview filters. For each field, select a feed value from each of the drop-downs to preview creative content.
For example, if the feed uses Campaign Manager 360 ID filtering based on Campaign Manager 360 placement IDs, the Placement ID column from your feed is provided as a drop-down menu. Use this menu to select a placement ID and preview that placement's matching creative content. - To preview the creatives matching your filters, click Apply. The preview updates to show the creative variations that match your filter selections. If the filters don't match a feed row, you'll see either your defined default creative or an error. Change or remove filters to match the creative variation you want to preview.
