Account preferences

The My Account > Preferences page is visible to all administrators and managers, and can also be viewed by advertiser and website users depending on the permissions they have been assigned. Your default view after selecting Preferences is the Banner Preferences page.

Banner Preferences

  • Default Image/Default Destination URL: enter a default image/destination URL for OpenX to use if no other banners are available to display to a viewer. Setting these default URLs ensures that viewers do not see a blank space on a web page.
  • Default Weight: you can change the Default Campaign Weight and Default Banner Weight from the preset value of 1.

Campaign email Reports Preferences
