What's new in the Adfox interface

June 10, 2025

Targeting

Updated the interface for setting up targeting criteria:

• We've made it easier to choose locations for geographic targeting. To add or remove a location (country, region, or city) from your campaign, just check or uncheck it in the region selection tree.
• Targeting by Yandex Audience segments no longer uses separate blocks. Instead, you can set your impression criteria directly in the Included segments field.

Autofill for labeling fields

Added autofilling of the The code of the KKTU reference book and General description of the advertised object banner fields for ad labeling.

For the The code of the KKTU reference book field, the following values are available:

• Recommended: Computer vision algorithms determine the appropriate code when you upload a creative image.

• Recently used: Five values that were used in your campaigns most frequently.

For the General description of the advertised object field, computer vision algorithms generate a description based on the uploaded creative image. If the creative is uploaded as an HTML code, a video, or a GIF file, you won't be able to generate the description automatically. In this case, fill in the field manually.

To learn more about filling out the fields, see Registering a creative in Adfox.

   • For the Intermediary's Report invoice type:

     • The Report and Date of the report fields and will be added.

       If your document set only includes an Intermediary's Report, specify its number and date in the Report and Date of the report fields.

   Alert

6. When you copy a supercampaign or a flight, the new item gets the Paused status. All its nested items inherit their status from the original items.
