Core Categorizations

Overview

Data Library comes with some built in Tutorial: Getting Started With Categorizations which allow the user to define elements of your various campaigns, ad groups, and ads related to their business goals.

Core Categorizations are separated by channel, so that channel teams can focus on their business logic and be more agile when making updates to the categorizations.
