Analytics is where you find useful information about how much or how long ads have been displayed.
With analytics (Also known as proof-of-play) you can get reports of file playbacks from your screens as proof that the files were presented. A playback is recorded every time a file is loaded by your player which then is sent to our analytics server for storage and data aggregation.

To start using analytics, you need to enable analytics for your screen(s), you can do this in the settings for each of your screens.
We offer several report types in both PDF and CSV formats:

The playbacks are stored for images and videos, playback for plugins (such as weather or text) is not stored.
If the player loses the Internet connection, the device will store the playback logs in its internal storage. The internal storage however is not limitless, so to keep things safe there is a 10000 entry limit on the internal storage. To give an example, if you have a playlist that shows an image every 10 seconds (6 playbacks per minute), it can store playback history for 27 hours before the internal storage limit is reached.
All times in the report are adjusted to your browser timezone. This assumes 2 things though:
