Managing Banners
You can add or delete banners at any time, and the system records the information. Each time a user clicks a banner, the system records the selection information as well. Click stream tracking information is a combination of the user and the banner that the user clicks. The system records users' banner clicks by inserting a row into the Banner Usage table (PS_BANNER_CLICK).
To manage banners, use the Maintain Banners component (EM_BANNER_ADMIN).
This section discusses how to manage banners and review banner activity.
