While testing some of the v201109 functionality regarding the switching of locations, languages and platforms to criterion I noticed an inconsistency and was wondering if anyone knew how each of the criterion types worked. Obviously when a location is not specified then all locations are on and likewise with languages and platforms. Now when you add a location or a language criterion to a campaign then only those criterion are enabled. So if I had a campaign with no languages specified (meaning all languages are enabled) and I make a call to add the Language criterion for English; only English is enabled for that Campaign. So far so good. this works the same way for locations.
Now if I have not specified a platform (meaning all platforms are enabled) and I make a call to add the Desktop criterion to the campaign then the campaign still has all Platforms enabled. I have to make a call to remove the other two platforms in order to enable only desktops. Obviously this is not that noticeable when editing existing campaigns as you would normally look at what is enabled and what is desired and run both the adds and removes, but when creating a new campaign this is a little odd considering how the other criterion seem to work. I have not run this test on Age Range, Carrier, Content Label, Gender, Os Version or Placement yet and I was wondering if anyone knew which way those functioned. -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
