Rotating banner ad

The rotating banner ad field allows you to place multiple images in a given folder location so when displayed in messages, the image changes (rotating through images in the given folder). Images can be associated with a (single) hyperlink so, when clicked, the given web address is displayed. Image rotation can be set to either random or sequential.

To add a rotating banner ad, follow the steps below:

  1. Use the fields panel to insert a rotating banner ad field.

  2. Select the newly inserted field and check the properties pane - properties for the image are shown:

    Filter

    If required, you can use wildcards so that only certain images are used (for example, you might wish to use a series of images which start with '13' and would therefore specify '13*.*' or you might only wish to use JPEG images and therefore specify '*.JPG'.

Alternatively, click insert to navigate available fields and select an Active Directory field as the link target (for example, you might wish to use the message sender's web page).
