ProductType dimension difference between a shooping campaign and a display campaign with GMC feed

[Jianbo zhu]

Hi, Adwords team,

I got one question regarding PrdocutDimension in ProductScope Campaign Criterion. 

Basically, both a shooping campaign and a display campaign with GMC feed can have product scopes. but they use different ProductDimensions: for example, shopping campaign use ProductType dimention while display campaign with a GMC feed uses ProductTypeFull dimention. I found ProductType and ProductTypeFull is quite different:

1. in a shopping campaign, it can have at most 5 levels of ProductType dimension (there are hierarchy here and they will be treated as product_type_L1 to product_type_L5 when calling adwords API to fetch them). see below

2. in a display campaign with a GMC feed, it can have at most 7 ProductTypeFull dimension (please see below) and there are no hierarchy here (all of these 7 are treated as ProductTypeFull when calling adwords api to fetch them). what's the relation for these ProductTypeFull dimensions? in which scenario we should use multiple ProductTypeFull here? the doc is unclear. 

Thanks in advance. 

Thanks,

Jianbo

Hi Jianbo,

I'll check for more detail on that. As far as I can find info on my side, the ProductTypeFull seems to be the legacy product dimension that existed before the roll-out of shopping campaigns.

You can find some info here (in Chinese).

Once I have more info on this, I'll update this thread and our documents.

Hello Jianbo,

I'm still waiting for the confirmation from engineering.

Hello Jianbo,

Unfortunately, I haven't heard from the engineering yet.

I'm following this up and will inform you once I have more info.

Hi Jianbo,

Engineering has confirmed that it's a legacy product dimension, that are not designed to be used right now.

It exists for backward support of some old types of campaigns.

So, I'd suggest using other product dimensions instead of this one.
