Banners
This is where you create ad zones and banners for your pages (modules).
An ad zone is a content section with banners that you can place on pages via widgets and shortcodes; learn more about the front-end page structure.
Click the tabs to access different settings and content areas. You can recognize which tab you are on by color association, e.g. if you click the light green tab, all the boxes below the tab bar will be light green.
The actions of these buttons are universal in any list box:
- orders the item list ascending or descending (click the column titles).
- deletes any item.
- triggers the edit section of any item.
Zones tab
Use the Add New button located in the upper-right corner of the Zones list box to add a new ad zone.
The mandatory Label field is not displayed on the front end, it only keeps ad zones organized in the back end
Set how many banners an ad zone should show at the same time.
Use the auto-generated shortcodes from the Zones list box in any editable text field to insert ad zones throughout your site.
Banners tab
Use the Add New button located in the upper-right corner of the Items list box to add a new banner.
The mandatory Admin Note field is not displayed on the front end, it only keeps banners organized in the back end.

Other settings: capping (date range, number of impressions, weight) and linking options.
Stats tab
Use the Search & Filter options located right above the Items list box to find stats by banner, keywords, stat type (clicks, views) or date range.
Use the Flush All button located in the upper-right corner of the Items list box to delete all stats.
In the Items list box, use these buttons to:

- trigger the details section of any stat.
Widgets tab
These are dynamic widgets that allow you to customize the ad zones by adding an extra CSS class or background.
- Use Banners widgets to insert ad zones in any module or footer layout with a simple drag & drop.
- Use the auto-generated shortcodes of the Banners widgets in any editable text field to insert ad zones throughout your site.
You can find a step-by-step guide on how to create new widgets and make them appear on pages in the Widgets main section article; it makes no difference if you manage widgets here or there.
