The Set Affiliate Defaults API function is a feature in NATS4 that allows you to change default settings for your affiliates outside of the NATS system.
If you wish to change your affiliates' default settings, you must make a SOAP call with the following parameters:
* loginid - The affiliate's login ID * startpage - What page you want the affiliate to see when they log in * mailok - Specify if you want affiliates to receive mailings * live_update_defaults - Specify if you want to immediately update changes in affiliate defaults * default_stats_view - The first page the affiliate will see on their Stats page * default_stats_date_range - What range of dates affiliates will see in their stats by default * default_stats_pie_chart_X_data - What statistic you want displayed in each affiliate pie chart (5 charts total) * default_stats_pie_chart_X_break - What you want each pie chart to be broken down by (site, program, country, etc.) * default_stats_mixed_chart_X_type - What type of chart you want your affiliate's mixed statistics to be displayed in * default_stats_mixed_chart_X_data - What statistic you want displayed in each affiliate mixed chart (2 charts total) * default_stats_multi_graph_data_X - What statistic you want displayed in each affiliate multi graph (3 graphs total) * default_stats_large_map_data - What statistic you want displayed in an affiliate's large map data * default_stats_comp_data - What statistic you want to be compared in an affiliate's comparison field * default_stats_order - Set the order that statistics will be displayed in the affiliate stats page * default_stats_table_column_X - Set and order what affiliate statistics columns display (raw, unique, join hits, etc) * default_adtools_use_defaults - Uses default adtool settings for affiliates * default_adtools_view - Set the first page the affiliate will be taken to in Affiliate Adtools * default_adtools_cat_1_type - Set a type of banner for the affiliate to use by default (static, animated, etc) * default_adtools_cat_2_type - Set a type of hosted gallery to use by default (i.e., free hosted gallery) * default_adtools_cat_3_type - Set a type of downloadable adtool to use by default (page ads, mailers, etc) * default_adtools_cat_5_type - Set a type of news feed for affiliates to use by default * default_adtools_publish_setting - Set the default for when an adtool is published (on, before, or after a date) * default_adtools_publish_date - The default date available when setting when to publish an adtool * default_adtools_dump_seperater - The punctuation used to separate stat dumps (commas, semi-colons, etc.) * default_adtools_dump_record_end - The punctuation used to end a stat dump (semicolon, \n, \t) * default_adtools_dump_field_x - Set dump fields that correspond to your statistics * default_account_view - What page the affiliate will see first when accessing their account page * default_account_changes_count - How many recent account changes you want NATS to display * default_account_changes_order - How you want these changes sorted (change date descending, status ascending, etc) * default_account_campaign_count - How many affiliate campaigns you want to be visible at once * default_account_campaign_order - How you want these campaigns to be sorted (shortname ascending, hidden descending, etc) * default_adtools_use_limits - Automatically use the limits you have set when the page is loaded
