Kiosked's advertisements come in different categories, called placement types. Each ad located on a page is referred to as a placement, which can be configured to fit in to one of these categories.
A placement is simply a box or instance where an advertisement is to be shown. It has a lot of complex logic behind it, but will appear to the user as an ad or banner. Placements themselves have little to no knowledge as to what type they are.
A placement type controls how the placement is connected to the page, how it's shown and hidden, and how it behaves throughout its lifecycle.
There are only a handful of different placement types:
In-line placements are the most common type, with banners being presented within the content of the page. Banners are often shown in between paragraphs of text content, hence the name in - line.
In-line placements can be placed where content flows vertically, so that banners can be appended or prepended to elements. This type is also perfect for placing banners in sidebars.
In-media placements can overlap and obscure containers or images, and are usually placed over the top of an image (covering the bottom). These placements usually have a close button that the user can use to close the banner so that the underlying content is fully visible again.
The in-screen unit is attached to the screen border (adhesion unit). It can be moved around the screen using different configurations.
Interstitial units are similar to in-screen placements, but they obscure the entire screen like with a modal dialog. Users will not be immediately able to use the page behind the unit, but can close the unit via a close button shortly after it's shown.
