Show actual banner instead of plain HTML code for HTML banner preview
If this option is enabled the actual HTML banner will be shown instead of the HTML code. This option is disabled by default, because the HTML banners might conflict with the user interface. If this option is disabled it is still possible to view the actual HTML banner, by clicking on the Show banner button next to the HTML code.

If this option is enabled a preview will be shown at the top of the Banner properties, Delivery options and Linked zones pages. If this option is disabled it is still possible to view the banner, by clicking on the Show banner button at the top of the pages.

If this option is enabled all inactive banners, campaigns and advertisers will be hidden from the Advertisers & Campaigns and Campaign overview pages. If this option is enabled it is still possible to view the hidden items, by clicking on the Show all button.

Show matching banner on the Linked banner pages - set by default
If this option is enabled the matching banner will be shown on the Linked banners page, provided the Campaign selection method is chosen. This will allow you see exactly which banners are considered for delivery if the campaign is linked. It will also be possible to look at a preview of the matching banners.

Show parent campaign on the Linked banner pages
If this option is enabled the parent campaigns of the banners will be shown on the Linked banners page, if the Banner selection method is chosen. This will allow you to see which banner belongs to which campaign before the banner is linked. This also means that the banners are grouped by the parent campaigns and are no longer sorted alphabetically.
