AppSuite:OX Display

From Open-Xchange

OX Display

OX Display combines an OX App Suite UI framework with server-based configuration to display pre-defined advert formats in specified locations in OX App Suite.

OX Display provides a solid foundation for ad monetization and allows the easy integration of ad tags from different ad partners.

OX Display is highly configurable, and the Customer can define which modules display ads, the format of the ad and which users receive advertising. Additional triggers can be set to change ads based on specific events or environment settings, for example when changing between modules, or a time out value can be set to reload an ad after a specific time.

Please Note: OX Display is only available for OX App Suite as part of the OX Monetization Program. Please contact Open-Xchange Sales for further information.
