Additional Explanation

Below you can find a detailed explanation on how Day Parting rules actions work.

This is the default action of a dayparting rule, it will Pause the specified campaign(s) during the scheduled intervals then resume the campaign(s) past the end time hour of the schedule.

This action setting will Start the desired campaign(s) at the start time of the schedule then Pause the campaign(s) past the end time hour of the schedule.

This action setting will only Pause the desired campaign(s) at the start time of the schedule then will not take any further actions. This means that you need to manually start your paused campaign.

This action setting will only Start the desired campaign(s) at the start time of the schedule then will not take any further actions. This mode is mostly useful when you pause a pending approval campaign so that it won’t start receiving traffic during nonperforming hours of a specific targeted geo.
