MCDP provides a material library for you to centrally manage various materials. When you create a marketing activity, you can directly use the resources in the material library as advertising materials to simplify the procedure.
This topic describes how to complete the material creation and explains relevant parameters during the creation.
Log in the mPaaS console, select the target application, and perform the following steps to create materials:
In the left navigation bar, select Mobile Content Delivery Platform > Resource management > Material management to enter the Material management page.
Click the Create material button to configure the material information.
Material name: You can enter a maximum of 30 characters, and the entered name must not be duplicated with the name of an existing material.
Material type: The supported material types include static images, GIFs, and Lottie animations.
Booth type: Select the booth type according to the material. For example, you can select banner, which means the material will be applied to the banner booth. All the above three types of materials can be applied to splash, pop-up, banner, list, and floating icon booths. When you create an activity, you can use the three types of materials as the advertising materials for a banner booth. For more information about the instruction on how to add advertisement materials, see Create an activity > Add a delivery booth.
