 The setup of areas becomes very important when creating market definitions and market distribution patterns (see [[Markets]]).
-Areas are used in creating market area definitions, sorting lists and most importantly providing a method to evenly distribute a charted showing to all areas of the market. They are also used in selecting ranges when printing reports and lists as well as in sorting order of the data in various locations throughout the program.

 An operator develops a "rating" system that meets their needs. This concept is used to assist an operator in distributing larger subcontracts across all face classifications. In every inventory there are faces that everyone wants and faces that are more difficult to sell. Using factors such as a quality factor can assist the user in ensuring that charted contracts use a "reasonable" number of faces from each category.

 The Ad Manager Suite of products is actually a number of different modules all working together to provide the complete, enterprise wide solution for an out-of-home media company. Each of the modules, Inventory Management, Advanced Mapping, Multimedia, Maintenance, Financial, Digital Media and e-Ad Manager all work off of the same set of databases.
 There are 5 key data sets (groups) where information for all modules are kept. If a software user is not currently using all modules a number of the databases in the Other data set or fields within a specific database may not be needed and hence do not contain any data.

 The Contracts, Subcontracts, Sites and Faces are key databases. The Other data set is actually a group of databases that contain all of the fields of information accessed from the 4 key databases. For example, in the Sites database there is a lease number field. This "links" to the Lease database in Other and contains, for that specific lease number, all required details of the lease including renewal dates, payments and contact information etc.

 == Moving Around the Software ==
-Ad Manager has been designed to emulate a common interface popular among programs. This allows users to move around more intuitively in Ad Manager than ever before. The system provides you with a number of different ways to move throughout the different areas and different screens of the program. This allows you to find the information needed, quickly and easily.
+Ad Manager has been designed to emulate a common interface popular among software. This allows users to move around more intuitively in Ad Manager than ever before. The system provides you with a number of different ways to move throughout the different areas and different screens of the software. This allows you to find the information needed, quickly and easily.
 The software is primarily mouse driven which allows you, the user, to click on the appropriate item and have an action occur. Ad Manager allows you to single click (click the mouse button once), double click (click the mouse button twice in quick succession) or right click (use the right mouse button and click once to allow a menu of choices to appear) on an item and have an action take place.
 If you are on a screen where data entry can occur, you also have the ability to hit the TAB key on your keyboard to move from field to field when entering or changing data. Functions can also be selected using the Menus in Ad Manager, or the corresponding icon. Ad Manager also has hot keys (to activate a hot key, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and hit the letter specified next to the function on the menu command. For example, CTRL +C means hold down the CTRL key and hit the "C" key on your keyboard) that allows you to undertake common tasks quickly and easily.
