How to manage your ad units

Once you’ve added your app to your account, you can manage all your ad units settings from the Ad Units page.  This article will take you through how to manage each ad unit’s settings so you can start monetizing with them.

Before you start

To start monetizing with your selected ad units, you’ll need to integrate the ad unit into your code:

Select your app

  • From the dropdown menu at the top of the Ad units page, select the app you want to manage. You’ll then see the ad units that are live, along with the following info:
    • Status – active or paused 
    • Ad unit name
    • Ad unit ID (beneath the ad unit name)
    • Ad format
    • Networks – The number of networks that the ad unit is configured for. Hover over the number to see the networks the ad units are configured for. Click on the number to  be taken to the Instances page
    • Mediation groups – The number of mediation groups the ad unit ID is configured for. Hover over the number to see the mediation groups associated with the ad unit. Click on the number to  be taken to the Mediation management page

Manage your app’s ad units 

Click on the name of the ad unit in the table to edit its settings:

Rewarded 

Once you’ve clicked on Edit for rewarded video, you can see the current setup for the ad unit, including:

  • Ad format
  • Rewarded item name 
  • Reward amount  – the fixed number of items the user receives after watching a rewarded video ad
  • Advance settings
    • Capping 
    • Pacing

Customize the ad unit name, virtual item name, reward amount, and advance settings by clicking on the relevant field and updating the settings to your preference.

Interstitial  

Once you’ve clicked on Edit for the interstitial ad unit, you can see the current setup for the ad unit, including:

  • Ad unit name
  • Ad unit ID
  • Ad format
  • Advance settings
    • Capping 
    • Pacing

Create multiple ad units in LevelPlay 

To create additional ad units:

  1. Click the Create ad unit button in the top right corner of the Ad units page
  2. Give the new ad unit a unique name, and select the ad format you want to create
  3. Choose if you want to set up the ad unit as new or if you want to duplicate settings from the same existing ad unit
  4. Click save, and the ad unit will appear on the Ad units page

Important!

Loading ads with specific ad units requires using the new APIs that require an ad unit ID as a parameter.

Follow the integration guides to start using multiple ad units in your app:

Minimum requirements: ironSource SDK 8.4.0

Pause and hide an ad unit

Click on the action button at the end of an ad unit’s row to:

  • Edit the ad unit’s settings
  • Add the ad unit to an A/B test
  • Pause/Resume delivery of the ad unit 
  • Hide the ad unit from the set-up pages. Be aware that hiding the ad unit will not stop ad delivery, and you will still see it in your reports.

Configure Callbacks

LevelPlay reward-based ad units support server-side events to notify you of rewards that must be granted to your users after successful ad completion events. Learn more about how to set your server-to server callbacks here.
