Form Fields

Client

These settings apply for all clients unless they are changed for a specific client.

• Purchase Type. (Unlimited/Yearly/Monthly/Weekly/Daily) The Banner Purchase Type of this client. This is used to indicate how the banner client purchased the display time for the banner.

• Track Impressions. (Yes/No) Whether or not to track the number of times the banner is displayed to web site visitors on a daily basis.

• Impressions by Search Engines. (Yes/No) Include search engines in the count of impressions.

• Track Clicks. (Yes/No) Whether or not to track the number of times the banner is clicked to web site visitors on a daily basis.

• Meta Keyword Prefix. When matching keywords (for matching Banners to Articles based on Keywords), only search for keywords with this prefix. This can improve performance.

History

These settings apply to version history for Banners, Banner Categories and Banner Clients.

• Enable Versions. (Yes/No) Whether or not to save version history for banners, clients, and categories.
• Maximum Versions. The maximum number of versions to store.
  • If a banner, client, or category is saved and the maximum number of versions has been reached, the oldest version will be deleted automatically.
  • If set to '0', then versions will never be deleted automatically. Also, specific versions may be flagged as "Keep Forever" and will not be deleted automatically.
    Note: Versions may be deleted manually using the 'Delete' button in Version History.
