Set up SSP as an admin

⚙️ For DOOH administrators

Our supply-side platform (SSP) module supports programmatic advertisement platforms which allows you to play spots provided by a third party.

To use content from an SSP, you must set up a connection to the SSP provider and create a playlist, spot group, and category for the SSP content that the system downloads from the SSP.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you meet the following prerequisites before setting up the SSP provider:

• You know the SSP provider URL and type.

• You've created a designated user for SSP in IXM One with sufficient user rights.

• You've created a spot group to which the system can assign SSP spots after downloading them from the SSP.

• You’ve created a playlist for SSP spots.

• You've created a category for SSP assignment.

Set up the SSP provider

To do so, perform the following steps:

1. In IXM One, go to Administration > SSP.

2. To set up a new SSP provider, click New.

3. In the Create new SSP provider window, enter the following general data:

   Provider name	Enter a name for the SSP provider.
