Reporting Glossary
Select desired metrics for your reports in the Metrics section of the reporting UI.
Supply Reports
Supply reports are run by default if no demand dimensions or filters are selected. Supply reports include Ad Pod metrics.
Category | Metric | Definition | Calculation | Troubleshooting Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Numbers | Router Total Calls | All requests to a supply router - every time that SpringServe is pinged |
| only visible when Router is dim/filter |
Numbers | Router Requests | Requests to a supply router that pass targeting and were not blocked by pre-bid IVT filtering |
| only visible when Router is dim/filter |
Numbers | Total Calls | All requests to supply tag - every time that SpringServe is pinged |
|
|
Numbers | Fallback Requests | Requests that go to a fallback supply tag in a router after the routed supply tag returns an empty VAST |
| only visible when Router is dim/filter |
Numbers | Billable Reqs | Unmonetized requests not blocked by supply tag targeting | Total Calls - Blocked (Targeting) - Impressions |
|
Numbers | Requests | Requests which pass supply targeting and were not blocked by Pre-Bid IVT filtering | Total Calls - Blocked (Targeting) - Blocked (Pre-Bid IVT) |
|
Numbers | Blocked (Total) | All unusable requests blocked by supply targeting and Pre-Bid IVT filtering | Blocked (Targeting) + Blocked (Pre-Bid IVT) | Lots of blocked requests mean that your supply partner is sending inventory that does not pass supply tag targeting. Confirm that they have targeting applied on their side. |
Numbers | Blocked (Targeting) | Unusable requests blocked by supply tag, router, partner, and account level targeting |
|
|
Numbers | Router Missed Opps | Number of times a request passes router targeting but does not pass targeting on any of the underlying supply tags |
| only visible when Router is dim/filter |
Numbers | Opps | VPAID: Number of times the supply tag VPAID unit is initialized VAST only: Number of times the supply tag returns a non-empty vast response |
| Low Opportunity numbers can be indicative of being low on the waterfall of your Supply Partner. |
Numbers | Missed Opps | Number of times the request passes supply tag targeting but does not pass targeting on any of demand tags on the waterfall |
| If a tag has a lot of Missed Opportunities, align more demand that meets supply tag targeting or add supply tag targeting to align better with existing demand. In the second case, make sure to share your targeting with your supply partner |
Numbers | Imps | Number of times an ad is served |
|
|
Numbers | Breakout Imps | Number of times a breakout bid that led to demand competing in first look which resulted in an impression |
| Breakout Imps are a subset of total imps and are indicative of only those instances when a breakout bid resulted in an impression. For example, If the total imps on a supply tag is 100 and Breakout imps are 20, it means that of the 100 impressions, 20 were breakout impressions. |
Numbers | Duplicate Imps | Same impression pixel fires more than once for the same auction |
|
|
Numbers | Starts | The player start playing the ad |
|
|
Numbers | Player Loads | Number of times that a player loads |
| Player load events are recorded based on the firing of the player tracking pixel. |
Numbers | Pod Time Requested | Total time in seconds available in an ad pod |
| Determined by the UI settings or the POD_MAX_DUR macro formerly Pod Avail Time |
Numbers | Pod Time Returned | Total time in seconds of ads returned in a pod |
| formerly Pod Opp Time |
Numbers | Pod Time Filled | Total time in seconds of filled impressions |
| formerly Pod Fill Time |
Numbers | Pod Slot Requests | Number of slots available in a pod |
| formerly Pod Slots Avail |
Numbers | Pod Slots Returned | Number of ads returned in a pod |
| formerly Pod Slot Opps |
Numbers | Pod Opt Outs | Number of times the pod returns an empty VAST due to lack of demand |
|
|
Numbers | Heavy Ads | In Google chrome an ad gets pulled off the page because it is using too much resource. |

Calculations | Router Usable % | percentage of router requests that pass supply targeting criteria and are not blocked by pre-bid IVT filtering | Router Requests / Total Calls | only visible when Router is dim/filter |
Calculations | Usable % | Percentage of requests that pass supply targeting criteria and are not blocked by Pre-Bid IVT filtering | Requests / Total Calls |
|
Calculations | Blocked % (Total) | Percentage of requests blocked by IVT and supply targeting | Blocked (Total) / Total Calls | If a tag has a high blocked %, it is returning an empty VAST response to your supply partner and they may view your tag as a poor performer. Share your supply tag targeting with your supply partners to reduce this % |
Calculations | Blocked % (Targeting) | Percentage of requests blocked by supply targeting | Blocked (Targeting) / Total Calls |
|
Calculations | Missed (Targeting) |
|
| only visible when Router is dim/filter |
Calculations | Missed % (Targeting) | Percentage of router requests that returned empty VAST due to no available underlying supply | Router Missed Opps / Router Requests | If this rate is high, there is no compatible supply behind the router. Consider adding a fallback tag or additional supply tags with different targeting. |
Caclulations | Router Opp % | Percentage of router requests that result in an opportunity | Opportunities / Router Requests | only visible when Router is dim/filter |
Calculations | Opp % | Percentage of requests that result in an opportunity | Opportunities / Requests | If a tag has a low opportunity %, it is likely low on the waterfall of your supply partner. Ask what you can do to get higher on the waterfall; this may entail going on a white list or having request caps implemented on your tag to prove that your tag can fill if given more opportunities. |
Calculations | Opp Fill % | Percentage of opportunities that result in an impression | Impressions / Opportunities | This metric is useful to show your supply partners when arguing for a higher spot on the waterfall. |
Calculations | Request Fill % | Percentage of requests that result in an impression | Impressions / Requests |
|
Calculations | Player Fill % | Percentage of requests which result in a player load | Player Loads / Requests |
|
Calculations | Pod Time Returned % | Percentage of time available for which ads are returned | Pod Time Returned / Pod Time Requested | formerly Pod Opp Time % |
Calculations | Pod Time Request Fill % | Percentage of time requested that is filled | Pod Time Filled / Pod Time Requested | formerly Pod Time Fill % |
Calculations | Pod Time Returned Fill % | Percentage of returned time that is filled | Pod Time Filled / Pod Time Returned | formerly Pod Opp Fill Time % |
Calculations | Pod Slot Returned % | Percentage of requested slots for which an ad is returned | Pod Slots Returned / Pod Slot Requests | formerly Slot Opp % |
Calculations | Pod Slot Returned Fill % | The % of the returned ads put into a pod that are played and become an impression. | Impressions / Pod Slots Returned | formerly Slot Opp Fill % |
Calculations | Pod Slot Request Fill % | The % of available slots that result in an impression. | Impressions / Pod Slot Requests | formerly Slot Fill % |
Calculations | Avg Slots Ret | Average number of slots returned per pod response | Pod Slot Requests / Opportunities |
|
Calculations | Avg Pod Time Ret | Average number of seconds returned per pod response | Pod Time Returned / Opportunities |
|
Calculations | Avg Pod Time Filled | Average number of seconds filled per pod | Pod Time Filled / Opportunities |
|
Calculations | Avg Imp Time Filled | Average number of seconds filled per pod impression | Pod Time Filled / Impressions |
|
Calculations | % Heavy Ads | % of requests that result in a heavy ads. |

|
IVT Metrics | Blocked (Pre-Bid Protected) | Unusable requests blocked by Protected. |
| This data is delayed by 2 hours, which can lead to initial zeros in this column. Total calls, Billable requests, and Blocked (Total) will be updated as the Protected data becomes available. |
IVT Metrics | Blocked (Pre-Bid HUMAN) | Unusable requests blocked by HUMAN. |
| This data is delayed by 72 hours and this can lead to initial zeros in this column. Total calls, Billable requests, and Blocked (Total) will be updated as the HUMAN data becomes available. |
IVT Metrics | Blocked (Pre-Bid Platform) | Unusable requests blocked because they were deemed to be IVT using SpringServe's proprietary algorithm |
|
|
