Linking campaigns to zones

To link a campaign to a zone, select the zone in the Websites & Zones page. In the Zone properties > Linked banners tab, you can link the selected zone to a campaign or to an individual banner.

To link to a campaign:

1. Select Link banners by parent campaign from the menu and click the arrow.
2. Select the campaign from the second menu.

OpenX lists all banners in the campaign that match the zone size and type. Each of these banners is linked to the zone through the parent campaign.

Important: If a banner you expect to see is absent from the list, check that its dimensions are compatible with the zone size. When an existing ad is updated, check the dimensions have not changed. If the banner is a different size, the link to the zone will break.

Linking zones to campaigns

To link zones to a campaign, click the campaign on the Advertisers & Campaigns page. In the Campaign properties > Linked zones tab, select the zones you want to link to this campaign. When you click Save changes, the Banner overview page lists all the banners for this campaign. Zones that are compatible with the banner size and type are automatically linked through the parent campaign.

To check which banners are linked to a zone, select the zone in the Campaign properties > Linked zones tab. The Zone properties > Linked banners tab displays a list of the banners linked to the zone.
