Abstract: A system and user interface capable of effectively manipulating high volumes of data is provided. The system and/or user interface is specially-configured to aggregate large data volumes and translate the large data volumes into summary information associated with navigable categorizations (e.g., categorizations linked to selectable visualizations in the user interface) that enable dynamic selection and visualization of portions of the large data volumes. In one particular example, the system and/or user interface is adapted to generate selectable panels having a plurality of build or editing tools displayed coextensive with portions of the large volumes of data. Such panels may be particularly useful for generating a placement (e.g., an advertisement) while reviewing or managing large amounts of information, such as ad placement and performance information for hundreds or thousands or advertisements.

Abstract: According to various aspects of the present invention, a user interface capable of effectively manipulating high volumes of data is provided. The system and/or user interface is specially configured to aggregate large data volumes and translate the large data volumes into summary information and incorporate navigable categorizations that enable dynamic selection and visualization of portions of the large data volumes. Such interfaces may be particularly useful for managing large amounts of information, such as ad placement and performance information that is generated within an advertising network associated with ad campaigns. Moreover the integration of such summary menus in detailed visualizations improves information access, limits rendering operations by the system, and enables more efficient retrieval and visualization of information. In some examples, the contextual views limit errors in data entry, for example, by providing contextual visualization for subsequent functions.

Abstract: A system is provided for ingesting existing advertising networks and/or advertising campaigns to enable centralized and consistent control. Various embodiments, are specially configured to enable users to capture the existing placement information (e.g., user interface design elements, execution rules, attribution information, etc.) and incorporate the existing ads or placements into build templates that facilitate management and/or modification of the placements by build group.

The system and/or user interface is specially-configured to aggregate large data volumes and translate the large data volumes into summary information associated with navigable categorizations (e.g., categorizations linked to selectable visualizations in the user interface) and groupings of management functions that enable dynamic selection and visualization of portions of the large data volumes. In one particular example, the system and/or user interface is adapted to generate selectable panels having a plurality of management tools displayed coextensive with portions of the large volumes of data. Such panels may be particularly useful for managing a placement (e.g., an advertisement) while reviewing or managing large amounts of information, such as ad placement and performance information for hundreds or thousands or advertisements including placements on third party systems.

Abstract: A system is provided for ingesting existing advertising networks and/or advertising campaigns. According to some embodiments, advertising networks and/or campaigns comprise thousands of digital based advertisements or placements, that are constantly being called by content provider systems, constantly being delivered to hundreds of thousands of end user computer systems, accompanied by constantly updating reporting data and analytic data to manage the placements. Various embodiments, are specially configured to enable users to capture existing placement information (e.g., user interface design elements, execution rules, attribution information, etc.) and translate the existing digital objects from a variety of platforms, formats, etc. into a commonly managed interface and enhanced data structure. Translation into the enhanced data structure enables automatic management conventional systems cannot deliver.
