    Set conditions under which the promotion will work:

    • Name your promotion and keep it simple.
    • Add a Description, but that is not obligatory.
    • Set Priority. Promotions with higher priorities will work first. Example: If you set different, but similar promotions, like injecting different banners in the same position, the promotion with priority number 3 will replace the banner with the same priority depending on the date it was added. If you added promotion with priority number 3 yesterday, the promotion with the same priority from today will replace the one from yesterday.
    • Choose Status Enabled for active promotion and choose Status disabled if you’d like to pause or terminate promotion before scheduled expiry.
    • Active from - Active to - Set the time frame within which your promotion will work.
