# Create/Edit Ad Region

Ad Regions control the nature of ads within them. The dimensions of an Ad Region are defined, by the Site Designer, using CSS (Theme). However, Ad Region function is controlled by the Ad Region's properties. Using these properties, you can create "Static" Ad Regions that rotate ads randomly each time a page is loaded, or create "Dynamic" Ad Regions that will display each ad in succession without the need to reload the page.

Dynamic Ad Regions can also create interesting presentation-style areas within a page using the built-in transition effects.

Here are the Ad Region Properties:

| ### Ad Region Name
Ad Region Name: | This is the unique Ad Region name. This is the name that will be inserted into any Page Style between the <ad></ad> tags. NOTE: If you change this Name, be sure to update the tag's name in the Page Styles.
| ### Ad Region Behavior
Display Type: | This determines the Ad Regions display behavior. Static: Select this Display Type if you would like each Ad to change only when the Page is reloaded by the Visitor's browser. This Display Type is typically used for traditional advertising banner images. Dynamic: Select this Display Type if you would like multiple Ads to be displayed each time the Page is reloaded by the Visitor's browser. This Display Type is typically used for slideshow-style banners and to animate information panels. NOTE: Only Site Designers and Administrators can create, delete and rename Ad Regions. Site Managers and Users who have access to an Ad Region can edit it's properties.
Transition Type: | This determines the type of animation that is used for the Ad Region.
Transition Duration: | This determines how long the transition will take to complete.
Enable Autoplay: | This will enable/disable the Autoplay feature. When the Autoplay feature is enabled, the animation will start automatically. This feature is similar to an automatic slideshow.
Interval: | This is how long the Ad Region will wait before switching to the next Ad.
Play Continuously: | Check this if you do not want the animation to stop. In other words, once the last Ad is reached, then it will loop back around to the first Ad and continue the animation. If you uncheck this, then when the last Ad is reached, it will loop back around to the first Ad and stop the animation.
