There is an option to "Choose Existing" when creating a modifier. This will present a dropdown of pre-created options created on the account level. To learn more, please see Bid Modifiers.
Beeswax allows the creation of lists for criteria on bid modifiers and delivery modifiers according to various targeting modules and keys. Bid modifier terms use targeting keys to adjust the bid price while delivery modifiers allocate delivery weight to specific inventory in real time based on the set rules. See Modifiers for more information.
Adding Modifier Terms
- From the modifier creation screen, click Add Bid or Delivery Modifier Terms.
- A list of various selectable targeting fields will be available to include.

Now that the modifier term has been added, there are fields to complete alongside the term to assign priority. These fields will be different depending on which modifier was selected. Please see them bottom of this section for both term fields.
