New Analytics Dashboard: An Intro to Key Features (Legacy App)

A Better User Experience, and more data

 

3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR ANALYTICS DASHBOARD

 

1/ Timezone of the analytics section

Please note that your analytics data of “dashboard” and “viewership” are provided in your local time (for example: if you are in NYC, it will provide data in EST).

 

2/ Start date of the Data collection for the new graphs

Among the changes are new graphs with new metrics. These new graphs have started to collect data since 07/29/2018. This is specified under each graph affected. Please take that into account when analyzing a longer time period.

Regarding the new revenue section, please note that the data are displayed starting from the date of the first use of the new paywall.

 

3/ Conditions of data collection 

The new graphs located in the dashboard and viewership sections collect data via Dacast default player only. If you are using Dacast M3U8 live channels, a custom player or if you are playing your content via a TV set-up box or a mobile app that is not based on Dacast SDK, the data won’t be tracked.

This is specified under each affected graph.

 

If you are using a custom player or playing your content via a TV set-up box or a mobile app not based on Dacast SDK, you will only access the consumption of data per time.

The revenue section, however, is collecting your data through the new paywall, independently of the player used.
