Table of Contents
Overview
The page covers the various tabs and settings available at the partner level within the Ui.Marketing hierarchy. Some of these tabs and settings are only visible via permissions and some are visible to external users.
Walkthrough
General
On the General tab within a partner, you will see the following information
ID: This is the partner ID that is shared across all other data platforms and is unique to this partner specifically. This field is not editable.
Partner Name: This is the name of the partner that will appear throughout the application, as well as in business intelligence reporting (e.g., Looker). The name can be changed at any time.
Partner Short Name: This name is the partner name without spaces or capitalizations. This field is not editable.
Created: This is the date the partner was created within Ui.Marketing. This field is not editable.
Partner Type: This field is to be used for “Adcellerant Enterprise”. There is no other selections a user can make at this time for this field. This field is optional. The options are:
Adcellerant Enterprise
TTD ReSeller
Yext Cohort
Partner Industry: This is the type of business the partner is. This can be changed at any time. The options are:

Other
Radio

Tier Type: This is the revenue tier the partner is currently in. This needs to be updated manually and is editable. The options are:
Platinum - $$$$$
Tier 1 - $$$$
Tier 2 - $$$
Tier 3 - $$
Self-Service - $
Logo
This tab houses the partner logo that will be displayed within the application for users and on any exports like Proposals or Reports. The logo can be changed at any time by admin or Ops users with the correct permissions.
It is important to note that if a division within a partner has a logo, it will take precedence over the partner logo and display on all exports. So if the partner logo is changed but you are not seeing a change on any exports, that could be because of the division-level logo.
Products
The Products tab houses all of the products that the partner has access to. It will show you all enabled and disabled products. Easily search to find specific products to edit them. These products, rates, and custom names will flow down the hierarchy (division > advertiser) unless changes are made at those levels. In that case, those rates, names, and enabled products will take effect. Learn more about products here.
Currently, only specific admin users are authorized to change products and rates at the partner level.
Specific Ops users with the correct permissions are able to see their enabled products and retail rates only.
External Integrations
External integrations allow our partners to connect any external ad accounts for campaigns they may be running outside of AdCelleran. Learn more about external integrations.
AdCellerant Academy Integration
It also allows us to easily create new users for the partner’s hierarchy into the Northpass Academy.
First, you will need to create the partner’s “group” in Northpass / The Academy. The Support team currently does this. Once that has been created, you can copy the group ID for that group in Northpass, and then associate the group with the partner in Ui.Marketing by pasting in the group ID so that users added under that hierarchy will be automatically be created in The Academy.
Academy Group ID
You can find the group ID associated with a partner by opening the group in Northpass and copying the ID that displays in the URL. In the screenshot below it would be the string that starts with “e1a0db08…”
Billing
A user needs to have the correct permission enabled to see the Billing tab on a partner.
This is a user permission available only for admin users.
On a partner, the Billing tab will house settings we can configure that indicate how the partner is billed. All of these settings funnel into our ERP, Netsuite.
Billing code (Text Input)
LMC Partner (Boolean)
Bulk Discount Eligible (Boolean)
Is billing enabled (Boolean)
Line of Business (Single Select)
Subsidiaries
Toggles
LMC Partner: Is this partner a part of the LMC?
Bulk Discount Eligible: Is this partner eligible for bulk discounts?
Billing Enabled: Is billing enabled for this partner?
Line of Business (LoB)
A distinct area of operations within our company that generates revenue and incurs expenses, and for which separate profit and loss statements (PnL) are maintained to evaluate financial performance.
Agency - 1 (Techint)
Professional Services - 2 (AdCellerant)
DirectHub - 3
Subsidiaries
These indicate where a company is located and, ultimately, how it is taxed and billed. Technically, a partner can operate in more than one international location, and because of that we have both primary and secondary subsidiaries. For now, the primary subsidiary stored on the partner will indicate where all underlying line items get billed.
Primary subsidiaries also control the currency that shows on a line item. See examples below:
Currencies are shown anywhere in our application where money is displayed, including:
Proposals
Product page
Line items
Review Page
Proposal export (PowerPoint, PDF)
Proposal table (total budget)
Proposal to order submission
Orders
Order creation (line items)
Sold line item views
Allocation table
Billing tab
History log
Line item table
Pace metrics
Not Included Under Billing
Allowing this to be configurable by external users
Currency conversion
We do not convert dollars to pounds (for example)
Customizing currency on a line item
Exports
The Exports tab is used to set partner preferences for their exports within Ui.Marketing, more specifically, their proposal exports.
