Selecting Classified Advertisement Features for Pricing

The pricing section on the General tab, labeled Pricing Based on Color, Size, and Position, can also determine if the advertisement is for a classified advertisement. By selecting the codes that were defined for the classified ads, the correct rate card can be used to determine the price of the classified ad.

1. Once the color, size, and position codes for a classified advertisement have been chosen, select the Ad Caption tab on the form to select the advertisement product section. The Product Section record defines where the advertisement will display in the product.
2. In the Product Section field, enter the specific classified advertisement section. Only the sections that are listed under the previously selected position code are available.
   Creating a new Products Sections record from an insertion order will not properly link the section to the publication. Therefore, the hyperlink functionality is disabled for the Product Sections field on Advertising Insertion Orders records to ensure that sections are not created directly from an insertion order.
3. In the blank space below the Product Sections field, enter the text for the classified advertisement. The text entered determines the cost of the advertisement based on the unit count. 
4. The Units Count field indicates how many units of text have been entered in the above text space. The unit count is based on the unit definitions listed on the Rate Card Rates record.
   
   
   
   
5. The Pricing section on the General tab is now updated to show the current cost of the classified advertisement based on the base rate in the rate card and the amount of text listed on the Ad Caption tab.
