Novemember 7, 2024

Filter Management -- Bulk Filter Deletion

Feature Update:

Enhances the Filter Management with,

  • Bulk deletion option to remove multiple filters simultaneously.

  • Delete button to delete the selected filters.

This improvement streamlines the filter list and improves overall usability.

Use Case:

Use the search feature to limit the displayed filters by filter ID, such as "201" for filters with this number in the ID and click the Delete button, to see the Delete Filters popup screen.

More Details: Filter Management.

Trends -- Dynamic Y Axis

Feature Update:

Introduces the Dynamic Y-Axis in Trends to narrow the granularity of the y-axis range to focus more precisely on the displayed data points. Pulse calculates the maximum and minimum values, adds appropriate buffers, and determines whether to include the zero position in the y-axis. Excluding the zero position might be especially helpful in interpreting scatter charts.

Use Case:

Select the SPI metric and click the Dynamic Y-Axis icon. Clicking the icon adjusts the y-axis to start at 90 and end at 96, based on the minimum data value of 91.7 and the maximum value of 94.2, with an added buffer instead of the default range (0-100). This adjusted display offers more precise insights into the timeline data points, enhancing the data analysis

More Details: Dynamic Y-Axis.

Enhanced Share Feature

Feature Update:

Updates Share in Ads with a new UI and auto-copy functionality. Clicking the Share button creates a 30-day snapshot of the current dashboard and automatically copies the shareable link for collaboration.

More Details: Ads Dashboard.

 

Ads Dimension Metrics Selection

Feature Update:

Updates the Metric selection in Ads with an option to add the metrics only to the dimension table.

  • Adds a New Dimension Metrics button in Ads.

  • Selecting a metric in dimension metrics adds a new column of the selected metric in the dimension table.

Use Case:

During the data analysis for Ad Slate Plays in Ads, add Ad Slate Duration from the Dimension Metrics, to add the Ad Slate Duration metric column in the dimension table to get the Ads Slate insights.

More Details: Ads Dashboard.

September 27, 2024

Ads AI Alert Email Subscription

Feature Update:

Introduces the AI Alert Email Subscription for Ads, enabling admins to subscribe or unsubscribe user email addresses to AI alert notifications. This feature also allows admins to specify the metric severity (Info and Above, Warning and Above, Critical) and notification levels for each user, ensuring targeted alerts based on predefined severity. This provides immediate awareness of ad performance issues, allowing timely troubleshooting and optimization.

Use Case:

For example, create an email subscription for the metrics, all the metrics with severity Info and above. The system sends an email notification whenever an AI alert triggers for any of these metrics based on the defined severity levels.

More Details: Ad AI Alert Email Subscription.

Ads Real-Time Threshold

Feature Update:

  • View the Real-Time dashboard to monitor and analyze the performance.

More Details: Ads Real-Time Dashboard.

August 22, 2024

Ad Webhooks

Feature Update:

Introduces Webhooks in Ads, enabling automated notifications to external systems when an AI alert fires within Conviva. These notifications, delivered through HTTP POST requests to a specified URL on your server, allow seamless integration of Conviva alert events into external applications. This includes displaying alerts in aggregation systems or triggering workflows in applications like Pagerduty, JIRA or other support ticket systems.

Use Case:

Expand alert handling with webhooks enabled so that when Conviva Ads detects an issue during ad playback failure, it generates an alert in Pulse and also sends the alert to other alerting systems as specified in the webhook server URL. For example, if PagerDuty is the configured integrated aggregation system, the alert triggers a notification in Pulse and PagerDuty, enabling coordinated incident notification and management. This expanded alerting provides more options for identification, especially outside of regular business hours, and resolution of ad playback issues, significantly improving overall alert response times.

More Details: Ad Webhooks.

Trends -- Layouts, Metric Widgets, Action Bar, and Export

Feature Update:

Enhances the Trends dashboard with,

  • Multiple layout options for positioning metric widgets and dimension tables, enabling you to customize data displays to match your analytic preferences.

    • Metric widgets on the left and dimension tables on the right

    • Various metric widgets and dimension table sizes, allowing you to expand or contract the displayed metric time series and dimension table values

  • Sticky Action menu bar (always visible) for all actions you can perform.

  • Adding metrics to dimension table

    • Append Metric: Click the metric card to append the metric on the dimension table.

    • Replace Metric: Click Replace metric into dimension table Icon on the diagnostic metric widget to append the metrics to the existing metrics in the dimension table.

  • Replace the existing metric in the dimension table by clicking the metric widget.

  • Right drawer Export Options list, allowing you to select the items you want to export.

Use Case:

Select the layout option which allow you to tailor the dashboard’s appearance and functionality, giving you greater flexibility to interact with data in a way that aligns with your workflow and preferences.

Support for Reporting Audio, Subtitle, or Closed Caption Languages

All major Conviva platforms such as Android, iOS, JS, Roku, Web Brightcove, XBox, and C SDK now support reporting the audio, subtitle, or closed captions language values. These language event details enable customers to analyze scenarios like the impact of subtitle change on VPF and VRT.

Most of the Conviva modules auto-collect the language details during session start, and upon a change event. In case of custom integrations, use the new APIs to report the language details. To know more about the new APIs, refer to the video players integration section of the platform integration pages on the Learning Center:
