Using the Help Centre

 

Welcome to the Adstream Help Centre. The right place to find all necessary information to get the most out of the Adstream Platform. Apart from hosting your current tickets and recent cases, the Help Centre has many other features and benefits to explore.

It will allow you to browse through a wide collection of articles, covering anything from frequently asked questions and overviews of available Platform modules, to videos and step-by-step guides on how to use each area and make the most of the functionalities.

As a new user starting at the Help Centre landing page, you are only a few simple steps away from all the information we have gathered for you. The Getting Started category, as well as some other overviews, are even available without logging in, all easily accessible by clicking on one of the categories and choosing the articles you would like to read.

Searching the Help Centre

If you already know exactly what you are looking for, the fastest way is to make use of the search function to find the relevant article straight away. For this enter a search term into the field on top of the Help Centre landing page and click Enter. You will then see a list of articles related to your keyword as well as the location of each article.

The categorisation of the Adstream Help Centre and Knowledge Base is as easy as it can get. The first four sections will cover:

  • Frequently asked questions – Covering everything from the Recommended Screen Resolution, over Supported Asset Types, up to our Bandwidth requirements.
  • What’s New – This section is being updated on a regular basis and keeps you on top of any new platform releases and system changes and updates; including the version and platform module where these apply.
  • Videos – Is an overview of all available video tutorials, enabling you to stream them all right here.

Following these sections, you will find all the different platform modules and areas divided into categories; for example the Library Guide. Simply click on any category to find relevant sections and articles about your topic of choice.

Don’t forget to follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter to stay updated about anything new from Adstream.
