Campaign Job Function Criterion Record - Bulk

Defines an campaign job function criterion that can be uploaded and downloaded in a bulk file.

You can target people in a specific job function according to LinkedIn by setting the Profile Id.

Microsoft Advertising applies a union of both campaign and ad group level profile criterions. However, if you apply a criterion with the same profile ID e.g., target or exclude the same company name at both the campaign and ad group level, then the ad group level criterion will override the campaign level criterion.

Tip

For an overview of how to use target criterions, see Show Ads to Your Target Audience.

You can download all Campaign Job Function Criterion records in the account by including the DownloadEntity value of CampaignTargetCriterions in the DownloadCampaignsByAccountIds or DownloadCampaignsByCampaignIds service request. Additionally the download request must include the EntityData scope. For more details about the Bulk service including best practices, see Bulk Download and Upload.

The following Bulk CSV example would add a new campaign job function criterion if a valid Parent Id value is provided.

Type,Status,Id,Parent Id,Sub Type,Campaign,Ad Group,Client Id,Modified Time,Bid Adjustment,Name,Profile Id,

If you are using the Bing Ads SDKs for .NET, Java, or Python, you can save time using the BulkServiceManager to upload and download the BulkCampaignJobFunctionCriterion object, instead of calling the service operations directly and writing custom code to parse each field in the bulk file.

var uploadEntities = new List<BulkEntity>();

// Map properties in the Bulk file to the BulkCampaignJobFunctionCriterion
var bulkCampaignJobFunctionCriterion = new BulkCampaignJobFunctionCriterion
{
    // 'Campaign' column header in the Bulk file is read-only
    CampaignName = null,

    // 'Client Id' column header in the Bulk file
    ClientId = "ClientIdGoesHere",

    // 'Profile' column header in the Bulk file is read-only
    ProfileName = null,

    // Map properties in the Bulk file to the 
    // BiddableCampaignCriterion object of the Campaign Management service.

    BiddableCampaignCriterion = new BiddableCampaignCriterion
    {
        // 'Parent Id' column header in the Bulk file
        CampaignId = campaignIdKey,

        Criterion = new ProfileCriterion
        {
            // 'Profile Id' column header in the Bulk file
            ProfileId = 0,

            // Maps to the 'Campaign Job Function Criterion' record name in the Bulk file
            ProfileType = ProfileType.JobFunction
        },

        CriterionBid = new BidMultiplier
        {
            // 'Bid Adjustment' column header in the Bulk file
            Multiplier = 20,
        },

        // 'Id' column header in the Bulk file
        Id = null,

        // 'Status' column header in the Bulk file
        Status = CampaignCriterionStatus.Active,
    }
};

uploadEntities.Add(bulkCampaignJobFunctionCriterion);

var entityUploadParameters = new EntityUploadParameters
{
    Entities = uploadEntities,
    ResponseMode = ResponseMode.ErrorsAndResults,
    ResultFileDirectory = FileDirectory,
    ResultFileName = DownloadFileName,
    OverwriteResultFile = true,
};

var uploadResultEntities = (await BulkServiceManager.UploadEntitiesAsync(entityUploadParameters)).ToList();

This is recommended if you are adding new criterions to a new campaign in the same Bulk file. For more information, see Bulk File Schema Reference Keys.
