Which setting applies to the ad unit when the parameter is set at multiple levels?

In Yieldbird Platform, the final setting for a given ad unit is taken from as low level as possible.

The gradation of the settings is the following:

1. Page (collection of ad units detected on a given url. learn more)
2. Ad unit
3. Device (Mobile / Desktop)
4. Domain
5. Workspace

This means that if a certain setting is set on e.g. Device and Domain level, the Device level setting will be used on a given ad unit.

Example: Setting Prebid auction timeout per page

What will be the timeout setting used for an ad unit from Domain a.com?

We have the following settings:

• Default Prebid Auction timeout (workspace): 1500ms
• Prebid Auction timeout set for a Domain a.com: 1200ms
• Prebid Auction timeout set for a page that contains the given ad unit: 500ms

In this example, the ad unit get:

• 500ms timeout if the user enters from an URL where the ad unit was added
• 1200ms timoeut if the user enters from URL where the ad unit was not added
