Banners

This section describes the banner creation process, which can be completed independently or as part of domain configuration. If you arrived here from the domain setup process, complete these steps to create a banner, then return to the "Banner Style" step of your domain configuration to proceed with domain setup.

Note: When creating banners through this standalone process, the banners are configured as global by default. To configure location-based banner display, you must assign banners to domains through the Domain Management workflow (Section 2.2: Location-Based Banner Display).
