Delivery plan
There are two types of delivery plans: manually created and system-generated. Manually created delivery plans are designed to manage the traffic of multiple delivery tasks across different display spaces. System-generated delivery plans are used for routine delivery tasks within various business lines, with each line having its own automatically created plan. This document primarily focuses on the creation and management of manually created delivery plans.
Access the delivery plan list
To access the delivery plan list, go to Traffic > Delivery Plan. Here, you can view all manually created plans. You can also search for plans using criteria such as plan name, plan ID, budget type, plan status, or creator.
Note: Delivery plans that are automatically generated by the system are not included in the list. For more details, refer to System-created delivery plans.

System-created delivery plans
When you create a delivery task under Traffic > Operational Space with the Standard budget type, the system automatically applies a system-generated delivery plan for your selected business line.
System-created plans streamline the process by providing default plans for each business line. This feature allows users to select a business line directly, automatically applying the default plan without the need to create one manually. These automatically created plans do not appear on the delivery plan list and require no management. To understand the configuration of these delivery plans, refer to the following table:
Field name | Description |
Plan Name | Formatted as "Business Line Name + '_' + defaultPlan". For example, "LifeChannel_defaultPlan". |
Time Zone | Configured to match your local time zone. |
Validity Period | Set for a relatively long duration to ensure continuous operation. |
Associated Display Space | Associated with all display spaces under the business line and all public spaces. Any new public spaces or business line display spaces will automatically sync with the delivery plan. |
Budget Type | Set to the standard budget type. Each business line has an automatically created delivery plan. |
Budget Amount | No budget limit is enforced. The delivery plan is linked to the specific business line for traffic budgeting. |
Notification Email | This field is left empty. |
