Common Issues uploading HTML5 assets related to compressing files 

• The files must be individually compressed NOT the folder that contains them. Before compressing the files make sure you are selecting all individual files and then compressing as opposed to selecting the entire folder that contains the files and compressing that.

• Compressing files from a Mac may add hidden files like _MACOSX and .DS_Store. This will cause an error when uploading the folder to Admatx. You can use the zip command in the Terminal with specific options to exclude these files.

  1.  Navigate to the Terminal app in Mac (Command & Space - search terminal)

  2. Type "cd /" and the location of the individual files to zip. EXAMPLE: "cd /Users/yourname/Downloads/300x250" where the folder containing your files is named 300x250 and that folder is located in your Downloads directory. To find the locatio of your folder you can right click on the folder and select "get info"

  3. Once you have this typed into the terminal hit enter

  4. Then paste: zip -r your_archive.zip * -x "*.DS_Store" -x "__MACOSX" and hit enter

  5. This will create the compressed folder "your_archive" within your assets folder. your_archive is the folder you will upload into Admatx

Click tag names are case-sensitive.
The creative must open the click tag page in a new window.
Backup clickthrough URL can be used as the default URL.
