Updating Avoided Categories
Networks have an additional control option when vetting category conflicts between a brand and a show. In addition to issuing a Warn indication, users can now choose to Block a category conflict. This new action provides stronger protection by reducing the risk of relationship damage, brand-safety violations, and unnecessary time spent by sales teams and show partners.
As an Admin in your Network tenant go to Admin>Manage Shows, click on the kebab menu and select Show Details.

Select the Avoided Categories Tab

Click on the category you wish to update. You will now have three options:
- Allow: Category is permitted and vetting is allowed
- Warn: Category displays warning but vetting is still allowed
- Block: Category is blocked and vetting is disabled. Please note: an Override with justification is required by the user to proceed with vetting.

A new icon will appear in the Campaign Vetting Request for Blocked shows. Users have the ability to Override and provide a Justification in order to select a Blocked Show.
For more information on the Blocked Categories workflow please visit the following user guide.
