5. Studio / Display Placement (New entity, the equivalent to a Video Player).

   

   1. Create a new display placement - Setup:

      1. Set up the usual placement setup (similar to player) - Info (name, description, ref1, publisher, etc), placement settings (gpid, position identifier, etc).

      2. Placement Dimensions (Specific to display):

         1. Placement size - This field will define the size of the placement div container, dropdown will allow one selection out of list of default sizes.

         2. Creative dimensions - This field will define the creative dimensions that the display placement will be allowed to request, they must be equal or smaller than placement size.

            

            1. “Add eligible sizes” button will automatically add all smaller sizes than the placement size to the “Creative Dimensions” but it doesn’t necessarily means the customer will want to call all these sizes).

               

         3. Refresh Interval:

            1. This will determine the amount of time (seconds) between each rendering of a new display ad (impression), options are 30, 60, 90 and None.

            2. Aniview display placement will refresh only if these conditions are met:

               1. Tab is viewable.

               2. Ad was viewable for the minimum X viewability (changeable in config).

               3. At refresh Interval seconds have passed since last ad was rendered.

   2. Preview - Similarly to video, use the preview option to review the display placement before you generate it.

   3. Generate - You can generate short (recommended) and full code, similar to video.

      1. It’s recommended that the user will set a minimum width and height on the targeted div to avoid CLS (cumulative layout shift) that will create bad UX and cause element shifting on the page while they load.
