Impression Reporting

Underneath the File Information is the Impression Reporting panel. An Impression is a single time media has played on a screen.

Once the Screen has been assigned a Channel to play, the impression information will build over time.

Screen Impressions

If the selected Screen has only recently been assigned a Channel, this section will initially be empty as Playback statistics need to be gathered first as Impression Reporting is not a real-time function.

 


Update the Time Range

To update the Time Range, follow these steps:

  1. Select a Start and End date & time to query.
  2. The bar graph will dynamically display hours, days, months or years based on the range selected.

Each individual Media Item set to play on the Screen will appear as a different colour on the bars. Hover over any section to view detailed information relating to playback within that period:
