The TAP interface is designed to be easy to understand and use. This section provides an overview of the main components and features.
The TAP Home page shows three main sections, as seen below.
Menu bar. Items on the left side of the menu bar include the Applications menu plus items for navigating to top-level functions of TAP (Ads, Programmatic, TAP Settings). If you have TAP administration access, the Admin menu is found here. The right side of the menu bar contains the universal search tool and user-centered options such as the organization switcher, your login menu, and a Help menu.
Navigation sidebar. Items on the navigation sidebar are for navigating within the top-level function that is selected in the Menu bar at the top. For example, if Ads is selected in the Menu bar, this is where you access advertisers, campaigns, and flights for TAP direct activities. If Programmatic is selected, this is where you access deals, packages, and other items for TAP Programmatic.
Work area. The work area is where you do most of your work, such as locating or creating campaigns and flights.
The Menu Bar
Applications menu: pull-down menu that gives you quick access to other Triton applications. (Each application opens in a new browser tab.)
Console: Jump to the Triton Streaming Console.
Forecasting: Jump to Inventory Availability forecasting tool (opens in a new browser tab).
Omny Studio: Jump to Omny Studio for managing podcast content.
Metrics: Jump to the Metrics tools, including Webcast Metrics and Podcast Metrics (they open in a new browser tab). You will only see the metrics tools that you subscribe to.
Settings: Jump to the Settings tools for DMP Settings, publisher Ad Separation settings and more. The settings page is only available to Organization Administrators. You will only see settings for services you subscribe to.
Yield-Op: Jump to Yield-op programmatic ad management (opens in a new browser tab).
Top-level functions: The left side of the Menu bar includes the top level functions of TAP.
User/Organization menu: This is where you switch to a different organization (if you have access to more than one) and also where you can view the audit log (if your user role allows it) and check your content access status.
The Navigation Sidebar
Use the Navigation Sidebar to navigate within TAP. Items that appear here depend on what is selected as the top-level function in the Menu bar. Most items on this sidebar open in the current browser tab. When Ads is selected as the top-level function, this is where you quickly jump between advertisers, campaigns, and flights. When Settings is selected as the top-level function, this is where jump between users, teams, ad quality and exclusivity rules, and TAP configuration.
The Work Area
The TAP user interface presents a common look and feel across modules, making it easy for you to create, copy, edit, and change the status of the item you are working on.
The work area is where you do most of your work in TAP. What appears here depends on which module you are using (campaigns, flights, advertisers, etc.) and which task you are performing within that module. Generally speaking, the work area shows either a list of items for the module (e.g., list of flights) or the panel that is used to create or edit that item.
Navigation Breadcrumbs
Use the navigation breadcrumbs to quickly navigate in the work area. For example, when you are working on a flight, the breadcrumbs show you the flight's campaign and advertiser, and you can jump directly to those items by clicking them in the breadcrumbs. If the campaign has multiple flights, you can quickly switch between them by using the Flights drop-down menu.
This flight's advertiser.
This flight's campaign.
Flights drop-down menu.
The current flight.
This campaign's other flight (click to switch to that flight).
Module Lists
The Campaigns, Flights, Advertisers, and other modules share a common look and feel for their module lists. The example below shows the Flights list; menu options may be slightly different in other modules. Note that the columns can be customized.
Quick filters.
Creator filters: use to filter the displayed items according to who created them.
List filter: filter the current list according to various dimensions. (Open the drop-down list to see the filter options; if you already have a quick filter applied, it appears automatically.)
List of flights, showing flight details. Click any row to open that flight. The columns extend off-screen to the right; scroll to see them.
Flights are listed by row. Click a row to open that flight.
Flight Options menu.
"Items per page" selector.
Export: export the list as a CSV file. (You can choose to export only the visible list displayed on screen, or the entire list.) Note that it can take several minutes to generate and download the CSV file if there are many records (e.g., more than 1000).
Refresh the list.
Create a new flight.
Items to Display Per Page
You can change the number of listed items displayed per page using the Items per page link, which appears at the top and bottom of lists. This is particularly useful when bulk editing.
Customizing Columns Display
You can customize the display of columns that appear in the various module lists. You can also sort columns.
Click the Customize columns icon at the right-hand edge of the column header to reveal the menu. Simply select or de-select columns to show or hide those columns. The choice of items on the Customize columns menu depends on the module you are viewing. Greyed-out items are always-on and cannot be turned off or re-ordered.
To re-order the columns, simply grab the item and drag it into a new position.
Sorting Columns Display
Most columns in module lists can be sorted. Simply click the column header to reveal the up or down arrow that indicates if the column sort is ascending or descending. Click again to sort the other way. You can also customize the display of columns.
Exporting Lists
Module lists (and others, such as the list of "Flights requiring review" from the Home page) can be exported as CSV files. Look for the Export data as CSV button. The exported data conforms to the current selected list filters.
There are two export options:
Export current table as CSV: The data in the currently displayed table is exported (e.g., if you are displaying page three of six pages of data, only page three is exported).
Export all data as CSV: All data from all pages of the table is exported.
Creating and Editing
The work area changes depending on the task you are working on. Some notable components of the work area are described below.
Overview Panel
Every campaign, flight, and advertiser includes an overview panel on the right side of the page. The overview panel includes essential information about the item, including a Status selection button. Above the Overview panel you find additional items such as the Copy button and an Options menu that includes an Archive selection, as seen in the example Flight overview below.
Progress Report
When you are creating an item such as a campaign or a flight, a progress report appears on the right side of the work area to show you your progress through the task.
A green checkmark indicates the section is complete enough to continue. It doesn't necessarily mean every item in the section has been filled out; it means the required fields are complete.
A grey circle with dots indicates at least one required field in that section has not been filled.
A grey checkmark means none of the items in the section have been filled but the section is not required so you can continue.
Timezones and Timestamps
Timezones for Delivery
Unless otherwise indicated, timezones in TAP are specific to the station as it is configured by Triton Digital in your publisher profile. For example, if you create a flight with time targeting of 7:00AM to 11:00AM, the flight will deliver between 7:00-11:00AM your station time. (Every live-stream, on-demand, and podcast publisher is made up of one or more "stations" in the broadcaster hierarchy; both broadcaster and station levels include a timezone setting. Delivery is based on the station timezone setting. If you are not sure what the timezone setting for your station is, contact Customer Support.)
Displayed Timestamps
Unless otherwise indicated, all timestamps in the TAP UI are local to your browser's timezone settings. For example, the timestamps in audit logs are your local browser's time unless you select the UTC checkbox, in which case UTC time is shown.
