Overview[edit]

This screen is accessed from the back-end Joomla! administrator panel. It is used to view banner impression and click counts.

How to Access[edit]

Description[edit]

The Banner Tracks Manager is where you can view current banner impression or click counts. Banners will only appear here if the impression or click counter is enabled on them and their impression or click count is at least 1. The impression and click counts are considered separate items, so a banner may appear twice in the list of items in this screen.
