Adding Industry Codes

Industry codes provide a definition type for industries, for example, automotive, aviation, and beverage. You use industry codes to identify the associated industry of an ad, thus preventing two ads from competing companies in the same industry from appearing on the same page. You can also update industry codes; for example, you can add beverage codes for coffee and soft drinks so that ads for these different types of beverages can appear on the same page.

Commerce Server provides several popular industry codes for your use. The industry codes used in ads are validated through the Industry Codes section in the Reference Tables module. The industry codes in the reference tables are available when you select the industry code for an ad. You can view a list of all current industry codes, add new industry codes, edit industry codes, and delete industry codes from the Industry Code section in the Reference Tables module.

To create an industry code

1. In Campaigns, click Reference Tables.

2. In the Reference Tables screen, in the Industry Codes section, click New, and then do the following:

   Use this	To do this
   Industry Code	Type a name for the new industry code.

3. Click Accept.

   The new industry code is added to the industry code list in alphabetical order.

4. To save the new industry code and return to the Campaign Manager screen, click on the toolbar.

The new industry code is saved and is available when you select industry codes for campaign items.
