Performance Reports

We have 2 performance reports for proof of play. The 2 reports come in addition to the 2 monitors (which show data from the last 24 hours) and the availability report (which shows the history of availability percentage).

The reports are accessible through the regular link, either https://reports.novisign.com/

What is proof of play? Imagine you have advertisers in your ad-network, and you need to show them how many times that ad was broadcasted or for how long was this ad being played, on how many stations and so on. These reports will provide this data.

Media Performance Report

This report is the heart of “proof of play”. It shows you the media name, type (video or image), number of exposures and total time of exposures in the filtered period (yesterday and beyond). It also shows you in how many different screens was the creative played in that period. A partner can filter by any of his/her users and by time range.

The report’s columns:

• User: the user who owns the media (the media is on his/her account). If you are a partner, you will see more than just your username, but all of your users (you will be able to filter any of them).
• Media name: the name of the media file as it appears in you media library in your web editor account.
• Media type: the type of the media. It can be either an image file or a video file.
• Exposures: how many times was this media item being played during the filtered period in all the screens.
• Exposure time: how long (in hours, minutes and seconds) was this media item being played during the filtered period in all the screens.
• Player count: In how many screens was this media item being played during the filtered period
