Automatic Error Checking

Overview

Visuel.ly continuously monitors campaign setup, scene creation & configuration, and layer creation and configuration to ensure they are error-free. This automatic validation helps guarantee that your published campaigns function correctly on user devices.

When errors are detected, you will receive an alert via a popup. This warning can be triggered in the following situations:

  1. Incorrect campaign setup: Issues may arise during the creation of campaign labels, setting default campaign parameters and styles, or adding campaign data.

  2. Navigating top menu: Errors are checked when moving from the Compose or Setup section to another part of the top menu.

  3. Transitioning between scenes: When you move from one Scene to another, the system performs error checking.

  4. Incorrect action configuration: Actions are essential for interactivity. Incorrectly configured actions can lead to fatal errors on user devices.

  5. Initiating irreversible changes: Certain changes such as deletion of a campaign or a scene are irreversible. You will be warned before completing such an action.

  6. Previewing or publishing campaign: A complete review of the campaign is conducted, with warnings issued if necessary.

  7. Changes to published campaigns: Modifications to published campaigns can affect the historical campaign data displayed in Monitor.

Types of Popup Warnings

There are three types of popups you may encounter:

  1. Errors: These are fatal meaning the campaign will not render properly on user device. Visuel.ly will not publish a campaign with errors.

  2. Warnings: These are non-critical issues that do not prevent the campaign from running but should be fixed.

  3. Corrections: These prompts indicate inconsistencies in action, scene, and setup configuration. Visuel.ly may automatically make the necessary corrections or ask you to decide on the appropriate action.
