Qompose's Advertising Module is a dedicated application on your QL Server that lets you manage and deliver revenue-generating ad campaigns across your digital signage network. In this article, we'll take you on a tour of this comprehensive new feature.
Please Note
Access to the Advertising Module must be enabled on your user account for you to see the Advertising button.
Accessing the Advertising Module
From your Manager, click Advertising in the top navigation bar
To return to your Manager at any time, click Back to manager in the top right corner
Once inside the Advertising Module, you'll find five tabs running along the top: Dashboard, Campaigns, Reports, Library and History.
Dashboard
Your Dashboard is a live overview of your advertising inventory across available, ongoing, and booked slots.
Overview stats
At the top, you'll find summary cards for Total, Active, Booked, Draft, Completed and Paused campaigns.
Please Note
These figures reflect only the Groups and Players currently selected in the Player panel on the left-hand side (in the Players and Groups panel).
Choosing your reporting period
Use the Today, This week, This month or Custom tabs to set the period reflected across your Dashboard
Inventory
Campaign status — a donut chart breaking your campaigns down by status, alongside your Total campaigns, Draft and Completed counts
Screen inventory — your total number of Players available for advertising, along with how many are currently Online, Offline, or have Ads disabled
Total campaign revenue — your Earned and Forecast revenue figures in your account currency
Availability
Airtime — a split showing your available vs. booked airtime as a percentage, alongside Earned and Forecast figures
Distribution — a bar chart showing how your inventory is distributed across the hours of the day. Use the Slot and audience toggle to switch between the two views
Campaigns
The Campaigns tab gives you a single, consolidated view of every campaign on your Network.
The same status summary cards as your Dashboard (Total, Active, Booked, Draft, Completed, Paused) sit at the top
Use the filter row — Campaign name, Brand, Supplier, and a From/To date range — to narrow the list down
The results table shows Name, Status, Date, Players, Goal, % of completion, Revenue and Actions, with each column sortable
Top Tip

Clicking this will open the chosen Campaign's full detail view, including delivery progress, pacing, and creative-level performance.

The Reports tab is where you view and generate performance reports for your campaigns.
