SDX Reporting

Here you will find all of the details for check the performance of your SDX Ad Campaigns using the Smaato Reporting Analytics.

Please also see the SDX Analytics Glossary at the end of the page for descriptions of the reporting analytic metrics we use.

Inventory and My Bids

To get in-depth insights into your campaigns, click on the “Reporting” tab at the top.

If you choose the Inventory tab, you can discover all available inventory on the Smaato Exchange.


If you select the tab for My Bids, you will find your bid performance.


Dimensions and Measures

Dimensions are information types that can be used within reporting by which data can be filtered or split.

Measures are KPIs for which values can be displayed for reports based on the aforementioned dimensions.

To filter or split by a dimension, you can either drag and drop the dimension into the respective column or click on the dimension. Clicking presents the following options:

  • Filter: Adds this dimension as a filter
  • Pin: Adds this dimension to the pinboard
  • Split: Creates a split based on this dimension
  • Split +: Adds a split by this dimension

To use a measure, enable or disable it using the checkbox next to it.

Filters

Using Reporting you can view specific metrics, i.e. “Show me spend and eCPM only for specific countries”.


Click on the Dimension and select Filter and the metric will be added to the filter section.

From here you just need to select the specific values from the list.


Date and Time Filters

You can also select and report a specific date and/or time by simply clicking the green date/time tab in the selected filters section.

From here you can select specific dates ranges from the calendar.


Date and Time Comparison

You can also compare a date and time period to a previous date and time using the relative and previous day (D) element of the date/time filter.

i.e. “I want to compare yesterday to the day before”. Here you can see the comparison April 8 to the previous day (April 7).


Value Split

If you would rather see a breakdown of all the values of a dimension, (i.e. “show me spend and eCPM for all countries by country”), use the dimension in the split column instead. You can do this for both Inventory and My Bids. You can also switch those queries to a different visualization, such as a table or a bar chart.


To select, click on the line graph icon next to the filter and split rows, and there you will see the visual selections.


Here is an example view of the line graph:

Pinboard

On the right-hand side of the dashboard, you will find the Pinboard. This is where you can list specific Dimensions values.


To add a Dimension to the pinboard, simply click on a metric and select Pin or click and drag to the pinboard.

To remove pins, click the “X” at the top right of a Pin:
