Overview

The Advertisement Group module contains all advertisement groups created within the Plum Tunes application. Unlike the Tracks and Playlist modules, users can create, manage, and deactivate advertisement groups directly through the user interface.

Each advertisement group can contain one or multiple advertisement media files and can be assigned to restaurant devices based on operational requirements.

The summary screen displays the total number of media items assigned to each advertisement group, helping users quickly understand advertisement distribution and configuration.

  • Title – Displays the name of the advertisement group.
  • Ad Count – Displays the total number of advertisement media files assigned to the group.
  • Is Active Flag – Allows users to activate or deactivate the advertisement group globally for all stores.

This information helps users understand the current configuration and status of advertisement groups, as shown in Figure 2.1.

Ad Media Tab

The Ad Media tab allows users to assign advertisement media files to a selected advertisement group. Media files must first be uploaded through the Advertisement Media module before they can be added to a group.

Once assigned, users can preview advertisement media directly from the UI to verify quality before playback in restaurants.

Unlike the Tracks or Playlist modules, users can freely remove assigned media from advertisement groups at any time. These features enable restaurants to play promotional advertisements between songs, supporting in-house marketing and customer engagement.

This functionality is illustrated in Figure 2.2.

On this tab, users can view the following information:

  • Media ID – Displays the unique identifier of the media file.
  • Title – Displays the name of the advertisement media.
  • Duration – Displays the playback duration of the media file.
  • Size – Displays the file size of the advertisement media.

Action Options

The Action column provides the following configuration options:

  • Play – Allows users to preview and verify the quality of the advertisement media before playback in the restaurant.
  • Edit – Redirects the user to the Advertisement Media screen for further modifications.
  • Delete – Removes the assigned advertisement media from the advertisement group.
