Welcome to the Epom Ad Server help center
Where to start in the Epom Ad Server help center by role and goal — the quick start that gets a first ad served in 20–30 minutes, the go-live checklist, the interface tour — and how the sections are organized.
Epom Ad Server lets you run advertising campaigns on your own inventory: you create advertisers, campaigns and creatives on the demand side, sites, zones and placements on the supply side, link the two, put an ad tag on a page, and read the results in Analytics. This help center covers every part of that flow in the new interface.
What you can have done in an hour. A network manager who follows the network quick start goes from an empty account to a real ad on a page in 20–30 minutes — one advertiser, one campaign, one 300×250 creative, one site, one zone, one placement, a link and a tag — and sees the first impressions in a report shortly after the hour they fell in ends. The go-live checklist then takes about ten minutes and catches the usual reasons a launch stays silent.

Where to start
| You are | Start here | You end up with |
|---|---|---|
| Running the whole network — you create both demand and supply | Network manager quick start (20–30 min) | A served ad and its first analytics rows |
| A publisher — you own sites and want to monetize them | Publisher quick start | A site, a placement, the tag on your page, and your revenue on the dashboard |
| An advertiser — you run campaigns on someone else’s network | Advertiser quick start | A priced, dated, targeted campaign with a creative, ready for the network to link |
| Administering the network — users and roles, white-label, DSP partners, system settings | Admin area map | The admin console mapped page by page |
| About to launch real traffic | Go-live checklist (about 10 min) | Statuses, linking, targeting, caps, preview, a real test page and analytics checked |
| Just finding your way around | Tour of the interface (about 10 min) | Tabs, trees vs. grids, search, the ⌘K palette, Notes, personal display settings |
Each role also has a playbook — the day-to-day work, the top tasks and what the stock role leaves to the network: publisher, advertiser, network manager, and demo accounts.
How the help center is organized
| Section | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Getting started (you are here) | Guided first-run tutorials per role, a go-live checklist and a tour of the interface. |
| What’s new | Release-by-release notes: new features, improvements and fixes. |
| Role playbooks | One page per account type — publisher, advertiser, network manager, demo accounts — plus the network administrators’ page on roles, permissions and sharing. |
| Use-case recipes | End-to-end answers to a business goal, such as brand safety or A/B-testing creatives, with the steps across several features. |
| Guides | One task per page — advertising, inventory, targeting, delivery control, conversions, analytics, collaboration, administration. |
| Reference and API | Exhaustive fact tables — banner and placement types, invocation codes, macros, targeting dimensions, statuses — and the REST API and MCP pages. |
| Concepts | How things work under the hood: ad selection, the entity hierarchy, sharing, white-label. |
| Troubleshooting | Symptom-first diagnostics — “my ad is not serving”, tag and preview problems, analytics discrepancies. |
Browse by topic, at the top of the sidebar, lists every page by the role it is for and by its kind; the search box finds a page by keyword.
Networks differ
These guides describe the whole product. What your own network makes available depends on how your network administrator and Epom have set it up, so a page here may describe something your account does not show. That is normal and not a fault. The playbook for your kind of account describes what you can expect to have; the publisher and advertiser playbooks also carry a “What your network controls” table that says who switches on the rest: publisher, advertiser, network manager.
