Returning Random Creatives of a set Qty

[rgreenidge]

I have a job that has four different coupon values, 10% off, 20% off, 25% off, and 50% off. Each value requires an exact number of coupons for example:

 

10% off - 1,000

20% off - 250

25% off - 300

50% off 100

 

I need to compose a file that randomly uses the coupon values with the exact amounts required. Is this something that is possibly in Fusion Pro.

 

Thanks in advance.

Richard.

I have done something similar before but I didn't do it in FusionPro, I did it in Excel. I just created a field, assigned the offers in the correct amounts, and mixed them up.

Thanks scubajbc, I'll give this a try.

 

Thanks,

Sure. You just have to set the repeatRecordNumber to the quantity for each unique coupon in an onRecordStart callback rule.

Yes, but don't forget it needs to be randomized.

 

I can do a random generator without a data file as such :

 

myLimit=[1000,250,300,100]; // being maximum repeat count for each coupon

 

for (var i=1;i<=1650;i++) { // loop thru all 1650 coupons

 

do { choice=Round(Math.random()*3, 0); } while (myLimit[choice]===0) ; // pick one of the 4 coupons

 

if (choice==0) { coupon="10.jpg";myLimit[0]=myLimit[0]-1; };

if (choice==1) { coupon="20.jpg";myLimit[1]=myLimit[1]-1; };

if (choice==2) { coupon="25.jpg";myLimit[2]=myLimit[2]-1; };

if (choice==3) { coupon="50.jpg";myLimit[3]=myLimit[3]-1; };

 

}

 

return coupon;

 

 

But I do not know how to generate a record each time it goes through the loop...

 

Anyone??
