3. Set the Filter assets to define the assets for which the rule is to be applied. Choose from the dropdown to filter titles and apply the rule to the desired titles.
4. Leave the default settings in the Flight duration as it is. This ensures the rule will be applied to all the schedules starting from the current date.

      Note: One title of ad media type Bumper will be picked from the pool of assets and scheduled in the ad break.  
      
3. Click the ADD MORE link to configure another ad media. In this case, you will configure the ad slate.
4. To configure the ad slate, repeat the steps in Step b. Here, select Media as the Ad media type.
