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
    • Mediation groups – the number of mediation groups the ad unit ID is configured for

Manage your app’s ad units 

On the ad units page, under Networks, click on the number of networks associated with the ad unit to continue to the SDK networks page to configure the ad unit for additional ad networks other than ironSource Ads. 

Tip: Hover over the number of networks to quickly see which bidding and non-bidding networks are configured for the ad unit.

Similarly, click on the number of mediation groups to continue to the Mediation Management page and configure the ad unit’s mediation groups. 

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

  • Edit the ad unit’s settings (see below)
