In reports, Adform provides certain metrics related to the specified dimensions in the report.

Note

The term dimensions in this list refers to groupings in a report (such as a campaign or banner format).

A-C

A

Metric

Description

Agency Discount (%)

Shows the agency discount in percentage according to the media plan.

Calculation: Net Amount / Net Amount 2 × 100

Category: Media Plan

Amount

Shows the amount from the media plan. This metric can be set to show Gross Amount, Net Amount, or Net Amount 2. By default, it displays the Net Amount.

Category: Media Plan

Assisted Conversions

Shows the number of conversions for which a publisher played an assisting role (was present on the path to conversion at least once).

Adform calculates Assisted Conversions for a media when the media appears at least once per conversion path (either by impression or click).

For example:

Path to conversion 1:

Publisher A (impression) > Publisher B (impression) > Conversion

Path to conversion 2:

Publisher A (impression) > Publisher A (click) > Publisher B (impression) > Conversion

In total, Assisted Sales for Publisher A = 2

Use the Tracking filter to view the Assisted Conversions metric for the necessary conversion points. By default, the impression and click cookie lifetime is 30 days.

The Assisted Conversions metric is available in the standard Assisted Conversions report. You only see Conversions and Sales metrics in this report if you don't have access to a tracking campaign.

Category: Delivery

Assisted Conversions Ratio (%)

The ratio of conversions for which a media played an assisting role.

Calculation: Assisted Conversions / Conversions × 100

For example, 25 (Assisted Conversions of media A) / 50 (Conversions of media A) = 0.5 × 100 = 50% (Assisted Conversions Ratio)

Use the Tracking filter to view the Assisted Conversions Ratio metric for the necessary conversion points. The impression and cookie lifetime is set to 30 days.

Assisted Conversions Ratio metric is available in the standard Assisted Conversions report.

Category: Delivery

Assisted Sales

The monetary value of conversions for which a publisher played an assisting role (was present on the path to conversion at least once).

Adform calculates the Assisted Sales metric for all conversion points in the system — not only those that are available in the Path to conversion filter. Use the Tracking filter to view the Assisted Sales metric for the necessary conversion points. The impression and click cookie lifetime is set to 30 days.

For example:

Path to conversion 1:

Publisher A (impression) > Publisher B (impression) > Conversion (100 EUR)

Path to conversion 2:

Publisher A (impression) > Publisher A (click) > Publisher B (impression) > Conversion (200 EUR)

In total, Assisted Sales for Publisher A = 100+200 = 300

The Assisted Sales metric is available in Assisted Conversions report.

Note

Each conversion can have a different sales value, so in the total amount, a publisher can sometimes benefit more from contributing to one high-value conversion rather than many low-value conversions.

Category: Site Tracking

Assisted Sales Ratio (%)

The percentage of the monetary value of conversions for which the media played an assisting role.

Calculation: Assisted Sales / Sales × 100

The Assisted Sales Ratio metric is available in Assisted Conversions report.

Category: Site Tracking

Avg. Frequency (1st party)

The average number of impressions (with a first-party ID) a visitor was exposed to.

Calculation: Tracked ads / Impressions (first-party)

Based on the selected dimension, you can select a uniqueness level by clicking morereports.png in the Analytics page or in the Metric settings tab in the Custom Reports page.

This metric reports the average frequency for different ID types. For example, if webpage A uses a proprietary first-party ID and webpages B and C use an extended cross-site persistent ID, the frequency is calculated for IDs on website A. For webpages B and C, the average is reported.

Note

First-party IDs and extended IDs (publisher- or vendor-provided IDs) don't work across different ID spaces. Currently, bid requests provided by publishers may contain more than one type of ID: first-party, third-party, or extended IDs. The Adform DSP decides which ID to use in each case to optimize between the reach and usage of first-party and extended IDs. Therefore, first-party and extended ID metrics are available in cases where the impressions are bought by the DSP based on such IDs.
