Microsoft Monetize - Buyer deal metrics
Note
As of May 3, 2021, Imps Matched and Bid Requests will be randomly sampled at a rate of 10 percent. The sampled values will be multiplied by 10 to give a reasonable estimate in all screens where these two metrics are reported. No other deal metrics will be affected.
The Buyer Deal Metrics report provides key information about deal metrics, performance, and rejection reasons that is relevant to buyers.

To run your report
Follow these steps to run your report. Refer to Dimensions and Metrics section above for more information about the definitions of the data fields.
Select Reporting from the Network, Advertiser or Publisher menu (depending on how your account has been configured).
Select the relevant report from the list. The Report screen shows the available filters, dimensions, and delivery options for the report. The selections you make here will determine what report data is delivered to you, and how.
Important
For an explanation of how grouping and filtering work, see Dimensions, Metrics, Filtering, and Grouping.
Select the relevant filters to limit the data displayed to just the information you want. For example, rather than running a report that shows impressions for all inventory sources, you may want to list results for just a select few. When you select a filter (by clicking Edit), a selection panel appears. Select items in the Available list (left), then click Add to include them in the Chosen list (right).
Group by Dimension. Grouping allows you to display rows of data in the order you prefer.
Warning
The more dimensions you group by, the larger the data set that is returned. Larger data sets can take substantially longer to process. Be sure to group using only the dimensions you need.
Choose a delivery option. Once you've selected your filters and grouped by your chosen dimensions, you need to choose a delivery method. Available delivery methods include:
- Run now, show results in screen: For smaller amounts of data, you may want to view the report as soon as possible in your browser.
- Run in background, notify me when results are ready to view: A popup notification will let you know when the report is ready to view or download.
- Export, send results via email: Run the report in the background and email the results to one or more email addresses.
- Save as report template: Save your selected report settings so that you can run this report again in the future. You can name this template using the text entry field under Name this report (its checkbox is auto-selected when you choose this option). A saved report can be rerun from the Your Reports screen.
- Add to scheduled reports: Run this report automatically at specified times and have it sent to one or more email addresses.
- Name this report: Give this report with its current settings a name for future reference.
Click Run report to send your report request.
