Placing a test ad.
From the Main Admin Panel, click Advertising Management. If you had any ads in your mallplex they would be listed on this screen. Let's go ahead and quickly place a test ad so you can see how it will look. Follow the steps below to place a test ad:
- Click the View Your Mallplex button at the bottom of the Advertising Management screen, which will open the main page of your mallplex in a new browser window.
- From the main page of your mallplex, click the Place Ads link in the left panel.
-
Scroll down and select an Ad Duration (select FREE if it is an option).
-
Select any Category and then fill in all Customer Information fields making sure to enter your correct email address. For test ads such as this, just enter 1234 for the Password field.
-
For the Ad Information section, just enter the word TEST in the first three mandatory fields and then scroll down and click the Yes Submit button.
- Now you will see the automatic Confirmation Screen which gives advertisers a chance to preview their selections and ad content. Scroll to the bottom and click Submit.
- Now you will receive the Invoice Thank You Screen and an email of the same should arrive any second. This is where the advertiser receives their Web address, ad number, amount due and can upload an image to their ad. Your customized text from the Settings field "Invoice Info Text" appears on this screen and email, and should include
your payment instructions.
- If you placed a free ad and would like to view it, you can do so by clicking the Web address link, or by going to the View Ads screen and clicking the View Ads button. If you placed a paid ad, it will not be viewable in the mallplex until it is "marked as paid" from within the Advertising Management admin screen.
- Close the Invoice Screen browser window and return to the window that should be open to the Advertising Management screen.

That’s all there
is to it!
We've just hit on the basics of your WAW software and you should now see how easy it is to use and place ads. Feel free to view your mallplex and get familiar with each page. You can even visit the Update Ads Control Panel and edit your test ad.
If you haven’t
already done so, this would be a good time to change your password. Go to the Main Admin Panel and click the Change Admin Login Password button.
