Overview
Analytics will be updated with a new user interface and introducing report scopes as a new method of creating and scheduling Analytics reports. Scopes are a pre-curated selection of relevant dimensions and metrics and will be organized to the following business functions:
- Programmatic
- Marketplace Platform Private
- Marketplace Platform Exchange
- Inventory
- Direct Sold
- Reseller Sold
- Inventory
- Partner Tags
These scopes will provide a streamlined workflow for creating reports based on these business functions. Users will be able to include or exclude any of the dimensions and metrics available in the scope.
Note: Creating non-scope-based reports will be available until this rollout is complete. These reports will be migrated according to the schedule.
Please contact your FreeWheel account team if you have any questions.
Report Migration
To support the new scope method for report creation, FreeWheel will be migrating existing Analytics reports to one scope. This will impact the data in these reports and report templates.
Reports migrated to a scope will only contain the dimensions and metrics related to that scope.
Migration Schedule
Reports will be migrated to scopes in phases beginning with the 6.52 Release (October 25, 2022) with the Programmatic, Marketplace Platform Private, and Marketplace Platform Exchange scopes.
The Inventory, Direct Sold, and Reseller scopes will be released to MRM at a later date. FreeWheel will announce in the Release Guide and update this page once those dates are confirmed.

Disable MRM Rule or Reseller Placement with Campaign, IO, Placement, Matched Audience Item, Matched KV, Matched Audience Delivery, Agency, Advertiser - 6.55.1 (April 11, 2023)
Although these dimensions can be selected in the same report, there is no data in these columns. After the migration, MRM Rule/Reseller Placement dimensions will be removed from the report template.
Disable Selected Ads Rate with Programmatic Advertiser or Programmatic Creative - 6.51 (August 30, 2022)
This is an invalid combination that has been restricted in Analytics. Selected Ads Rate will be removed from the report template in 6.51 release (August 30, 2022). Please use Selected Ads Rate - Valid Bids instead.
Disable Sold Order with Agency, Advertiser, Campaign, Insertion Order, Placement, Ad Unit, Global Ad Unit, or Creative - 6.51.1 (September 27, 2022)
These dimensions can be selected for the same report but since they are different sales channels, some rows only have data for Sold Order and other rows only have data for Direct Sold dimensions and will not be available to select in the same report in the 6.51.1 release (September 27, 2022). After the migration, Sold Order dimensions will be removed from the report template.
Disable Content Owner Delivered Impressions or Content Owner Delivered Clicks with Campaign, IO, Placement, Matched Audience Item, Agency, Advertiser, MRM Rule, Reseller Placement, Other Metrics - 6.56.1 (June 6, 2023)
Content Owner Delivered Impressions / Clicks are only for Distributor roles in the ad value chain and the other dimensions and metrics are for other roles. After the migration, Content Owner Delivered Impressions / Content Owner Delivered Clicks metrics will be removed from report templates.
For reporting on Content Owner Delivered Impressions / Clicks, add only these two metrics with available dimensions in a new report.
