Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Manage Loops & Slots

Where can I create or manage slots?

Navigate to:
Quantum Loop → Manage Slots

From this section, you can:

• View all existing slots

• Create new slots

What types of slots can I create?

You can create three types of slots:

1. Image or Video

2. HTML5 Content (via URL)

3. Programmatic

Each option supports different content delivery and monetization use cases.

What is the difference between Image/Video, URL, and Programmatic slots?

• Image or Video – Static or video creatives uploaded directly to the platform.

• URL (HTML5) – Content or ad server creatives delivered via a URL.

• Programmatic – Dynamically requests ads from an ad server or DSP using predefined parameters.

What is a Slot Class and why is it required?

A Slot Class defines the type and behavior of the slot (for example, Linear).
It is mandatory and helps organize and control how slots behave within loops.

Where can I find the Slot ID?

You can find the Slot ID when:

• Creating a slot (optional field)

• Editing an existing slot via Quantum Loop → Manage Slots → Edit

If configured, the Slot ID is displayed in the slot configuration panel and is used to match the slot with deals that have the same Slot ID.

What is Slot ID used for?

• Slot ID is optional

• It links slots to specific deals

• Only deals with a matching Slot ID can serve ads into that slot

This is useful when you want precise control over which deals can respond to a slot.

Can a slot be reused in multiple loops?
