Overview

On the Ad Server dashboard, users can manage their ad server integrations and Ad Placements, and upload Ad Placements to connected Ad Server providers.

Access the Ad Server Dashboard

The Ad Server dashboard is only available if an Ad Server provider has been assigned to at least one Schedule line within the campaign. 

There are two ways to access the Ad Server dashboard, depending on how many provider types have been assigned to the campaign:

  1. The only Provider Type is Ad Server (one or more Ad Server providers, and no other types of providers, has been assigned to the campaign):

    • Navigate to the campaign's External Integrations tab, which opens directly onto the Ad Server dashboard.

  2. There is more than one Provider Type (one or more Ad Server providers and one or more other types of providers have been assigned to the campaign):

    1. Navigate to the campaign's External Integrations tab, which opens the External Integrations Overview dashboard.

    2. In the Ad Server widget (see External Integrations Overview Dashboard UI Elements, item 2), click on one of the Ad Server providers to open the Ad Server dashboard.
