OpenX UI Overview

When you first log in to OpenX, you see your Dashboard on the home page. This Dashboard contains user-specific information about any objects that you are responsible for.
In addition to the Dashboard, you will have any of the following links, depending on your level of access:
- Reports, for viewing, configuring, and scheduling reports.
- Inventory, which contains settings for managing and classifying ad inventory.
- Ad Quality (if enabled), which contains settings for controlling the ads that serve to your sites.
- Accounts, which contains settings for managing accounts and users.
- Your username, with a dropdown list that gives you access to your user account settings.
- A ? icon, which provides Online Help and What’s New? links. This is the Online Help that you are viewing now. Use What’s New? to find out how we’ve recently improved OpenX to better serve your needs.
