Fields

Each of the lower panes shows a listing of Faces that have a particular relationship with the selected Face.

Doesn't overlap with - This is the default setting for all Faces on a Site. If a Face is listed in this pane, there is no relationship set between it and the highlighted Face in the top of the screen.

Is enclosed by - If a Face is listed in this pane, the Face you are working with is entirely within its confines. For example, if you are working with a Bus Passenger Face, then the Bus Wrap Face would be listed in the "Is enclosed by" pane.

Encloses - If a Face is listed in this pane, the Face you are working with completely covers that Face. For example, if you are working with a Bus Wrap, the Driver, Tail and Passenger Faces would be listed in the "Encloses" pane.

Overlaps with - If a Face is listed in this pane, the Face you are working with is partially affected by that Face. For example, a structure that is sold by the square foot can have several different combinations that overlap.

If a lock appears next to an item, it indicates that based on other relationships set up, this particular Face has to appear in this pane.

For more information on using Virtual Faces, click here.

If you wish to establish a relationship between Faces, select a Face to work with from the top of the screen. Find one of the Faces you wish to establish a relationship with in the "Doesn't overlap with" pane. Click and drag the Face from the "Doesn't overlap with" pane into the appropriate Virtual Face relationship pane. When you release the mouse button, Ad Manager will create that relationship.
