A Face represents the advertising surface. For example, a billboard may have one face. If the billboard has rotating images, there may be three faces.
A Face is one of two mandatory hierarchy levels for assets, the other one being a Site (see Asset Hierarchies).
You can batch import Face data by using the Static Operations Data Import tool. For more information, see Update Static Operations Data.
To locate Faces:
Static Operations
- Access Operations in the top-left menu, click the Assets tab, and then the Faces tile.

This presents the filter search window.
The screen will refresh to show the list of Faces available.
You can perform the following activities on a Face:
- Import Static Faces Data

Delete a Face
Static Operations
The Static Operations module does not support deleting a Face. Instead, you must retire the Face and mark it as non-saleable.
-
The system automatically hides retired Faces from default inventory views by applying an As at Date filter across the Assets module. You can adjust this filter manually if you need to view retired inventory.
-
You can apply the Saleable? filter.
- You can apply the From filter in the Sites and Vehicles Assets tab.
For more information, see Saleability and Retirement Dates.
