TAB Set up

In order to use the TAB OOH Ratings module, it must first be installed on each computer that will be using it (please note that Ad Manager must also be installed on these machines).

Next, on one of the computers which has the module installed, log into Ad Manager, and go to Tools-Options in the main explorer window and select TAB EyesOn. On the following screen, enter the company's TAB supplied userid and password, and click <Test>. Ad Manager will notify users if the connection test was successful. If not, check the TAB userid and password to ensure that it has been entered correctly.

Once successfully connected to the TAB server, click <Copy> to retrieve the background databases from the TAB server. Ad Manager will notify users if the information was copied successfully.

Click OK when done.

NOTE: Companies must contact TAB in order to obtain their web services log-in to be able to use the module. There may be an additional cost incurred from TAB to obtain this.

NOTE: Each time TAB notifies that there are updates to the Demographic and/or Market Information, users must click <Copy> to retrieve the latest data.

NOTE: If the module was installed in your company PRIOR to release 5.7.2, contact Dot2Dot for directions and SQL scripts that will need to be executed BEFORE upgrading to this release.
