Reporting Timezones

Reporting data can be displayed or generated in different timezones depending on the reporting tool and selected settings. When comparing reports or reconciling metrics across Pontiac, confirm that the same timezone is being used.

  • Seat Timezone: The default account timezone configured under Admin > Seat Settings > Preferences. It is used for applicable platform reporting and Advertiser-\ level metrics.
  • Selected Reporting Timezone: Standard Reporting allows users to select the timezone used to display report metrics. The selected timezone applies across the Standard Reporting views.
  • User Timezone: Uses the user timezone offset passed with each impression to display activity based on the local time where the impression was served. If a user timezone offset is unavailable, the impression defaults to UTC.
  • UTC: The standard timezone used for billing and account activity. When reconciling reporting against billing metrics, use UTC.

Different timezone selections can cause the same activity to appear under different dates or hours. For example, an impression served late in the evening in Pacific Time may fall on the following calendar day when viewed in UTC.

For the most accurate comparisons, use the same Reporting Interval and Timezone across the reports or platform views being compared.

Important: Reporting timezones do not control Campaign pacing or dayparting. Pacing and dayparting use the timezone configured for the applicable Campaign or Line.

Standard Reporting vs Custom Reporting

The Reporting tab provides tools to analyze Campaign performance, compare delivery across different dimensions, and create downloadable reports for additional analysis.

Pontiac provides two primary reporting options:

  1. Standard Reporting: An interactive reporting dashboard for reviewing performance directly in the platform. Select an Advertiser, Campaign, and applicable Lines to analyze performance through summary metrics, charts, tables, inventory breakdowns, Creative performance, geographic reporting, and other views.
  1. Custom Reporting: A configurable reporting tool that allows users to select specific Advertisers, Campaigns, Lines, dimensions, metrics, date ranges, and other report settings to generate downloadable reports. Custom Reports can also be scheduled for automated delivery.

Use Standard Reporting for quick performance analysis and visual comparisons within Pontiac. Use Custom Reporting when you need a specific data breakdown, additional dimensions or metrics, conversion reporting, log-level data, or recurring report delivery.

Overview

Standard Reporting provides an interactive view of performance for selected Advertisers, Campaigns, and Lines. Use the dashboard to review overall delivery, compare performance metrics, analyze inventory and Creative performance, review geographic delivery, and export supporting data for additional analysis.

Standard Reporting includes the following views:

  • Summary
  • Inventory
  • Creatives
  • Device Type
  • Network
  • Deal
  • Channel
  • App
  • Foot Traffic
  • Geo

Each view uses the Advertiser, Campaign, Line, Reporting Interval, and applicable Timezone settings selected at the top of the report.

Create a Standard Report

To create a Standard Report:

  1. Navigate to Reporting > Standard Reporting.
  2. Select the Advertiser you want to analyze.
  3. Select the applicable Campaign.
  4. Select one or more Lines, if needed.
  5. Select the Timezone used to display reporting metrics.
  6. Select the Reporting Interval.
  7. Select Update to generate the report.

The selected filters apply across the Standard Reporting views, allowing users to analyze the same reporting scope across Summary, Inventory, Creatives, Device Type, and other sections.

Users can also open Standard Reporting directly from the Performance tab of an Advertiser, Campaign, or Line by selecting the Full Report Link. The applicable Advertiser, Campaign, and Line fields will automatically populate in Standard Reporting.

Report Filters & Timezone

The filters at the top of Standard Reporting determine the data included throughout the report.

  • Advertiser: Select the Advertiser whose performance you want to analyze.
  • Campaign: Select a Campaign associated with the selected Advertiser.
  • Line: Select one or more Lines associated with the selected Campaign. Leave the selection broad when you want to review Campaign-level performance across multiple Lines.
  • Timezone: Select the timezone used to display reporting metrics throughout Standard Reporting. The Volume by Hour heatmap displays data in User Time Zone by default; uncheck Display in User Time Zone to display the heatmap using the selected Standard Reporting Timezone.
  • Reporting Interval: Select the date range used for the report.
  • Update Reporting: Apply the selected filters and refresh the Standard Reporting data.

The report displays the selected reporting timezone at the top of the page: Metrics are displayed in the selected timezone: {timezone}

Changing the reporting timezone can cause activity to appear under different dates or hours. When comparing Standard Reporting with another report or platform view, confirm that the same Reporting Interval and Timezone are being used.

Overview

Custom Reporting allows users to build downloadable reports using selected Advertisers, Campaigns, Lines, Dimensions, Metrics, and a Reporting Interval.

Unlike Standard Reporting, Custom Reporting allows users to choose the specific fields included in the output, making it useful for deeper analysis, custom data exports, conversion reporting, log-level data, and reach/frequency analysis.

Custom Reports can be generated on demand or scheduled for automatic delivery where supported.

Custom Report Types

Available report types include:

  • Custom Report: Build a performance report using selected Dimensions and Metrics.
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Path to Conversion: Analyze the Impression activity associated with IP-based conversions.
  • Cookie: Path to Conversion: Analyze the Impression activity associated with Cookie-based conversions.
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Page Visits: Review visits recorded by an IP Conversion Pixel.
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Conversion Rate: Compare Impressions and conversions to evaluate conversion performance.
  • Log Level Report: Export detailed Impression-level and bid request data for purchased inventory.
  • Reach/Frequency Report: Review unique reach across supported identifiers and estimate frequency.

Report Limitations

Custom Reports are subject to a maximum number of returnable rows: 10,000,000 rows, depending on the delivery method and report type selected. If a report exceeds the supported limit, a warning will appear indicating that the results are incomplete.

If a report exceeds the limit:

  • Reduce the Reporting Interval.
  • Select fewer Dimensions.
  • Split the data into multiple reports.
  • Contact your Account Manager for additional assistance.

Custom Reporting Time Zone

The Time Zone selected on the Custom Report determines how report activity is grouped by Date and Hour.

Available options may include Seat Time Zone, User Time Zone, UTC, and other supported time zones.

  • UTC: Use UTC when reconciling report totals with Pontiac billing, as billing activity is calculated in UTC.
  • Seat Time Zone: Groups report activity according to the Seat Time Zone configured under Admin > Seat Settings > Preferences.
  • User Time Zone: Uses the user time zone offset passed in the bid request to assign each Impression to the local time where it was served. If the user time zone offset is unavailable, the Impression defaults to UTC.

The selected Time Zone affects how Date and Hour values are represented in the report.

Scheduled Report Time Zone & Delivery

Scheduled Reports allow users to configure the Delivery Time and Time Zone used for each scheduled delivery.

When creating or editing a Scheduled Report, these settings appear below the Reporting Interval:

  • Delivery Time: Select the time the scheduled report should be generated and delivered.
  • Time Zone: Select the time zone used to define both the reporting period and delivery time.

The selected Time Zone determines the start and end of the reporting day or month so the report contains the complete reporting period for that time zone before it is generated and delivered.

The Scheduled Report Time Zone defaults to UTC. User Time Zone is not available in the Scheduled Report Time Zone dropdown. Instead, select the specific time zone that best aligns with the Campaigns included in the report.

For example, if a report is configured to deliver at 1:00 AM Pacific Time, the report will include the complete prior Pacific calendar day through 11:59 PM PT before it is generated and delivered.

Seat Time Zone

The Seat Time Zone can be configured under Admin > Seat Settings > Preferences.

This setting affects metrics displayed in the Advertiser views, as well as applicable reporting views.

The Seat Time Zone does not control:

  • Billing activity: Account balance activity and billing transactions are calculated in UTC.
  • Campaign and Line pacing: Pacing and Dayparts use the time zone configured for the applicable Campaign in the Setup section.

All account balance activity is displayed and billed in UTC.

Report Status

When a report fails or returns incomplete results, hover over the Status to view additional information about the issue.

Common status messages include:

  • Report exceeds maximum rows: The report exceeds the maximum returnable number of rows and contains incomplete results. Reduce the Reporting Interval or use more restrictive parameters.
  • Report failed to process: Contact your Account Manager or reach out through the Help Center for assistance.
  • Report timeframe too large: Reduce the Reporting Interval and run the report again.

Path To Conversion

There are two Path to Conversion report types available:

  • IP Conversion Pixel: Path to Conversion
  • Cookie: Path to Conversion

The Path to Conversion report shows the Impression activity associated with users who later completed an IP- or Cookie-based conversion. It provides the sequence from an attributed Impression through the recorded conversion, allowing users to analyze the media, Creative, inventory, and other attributes associated with conversion activity.

Key time fields include:

  • Impression Time: The date and time the attributed Impression was served.
    • The total number of ‘imp_times’ shows how many impressions were served to users who then converted, corresponding to the ‘Attributed Imps’ field in the IP Conversion Pixel metrics under the Advertiser.
  • Conversion Time: The date and time the associated conversion was recorded.
    • The total number of unique ‘conv_times’ represents the total number of conversions or visits driven by the campaign, corresponding to the ‘Total Convs’ field in the IP Conversion Pixel metrics under the Advertiser.

Multiple Impressions may be associated with the same conversion. The report can therefore be used to evaluate the sequence of Impressions that occurred before a conversion and the fractional attribution assigned to each Impression.

Lookback Window

  • The Lookback Window determines how far before each conversion Pontiac searches for eligible Impressions to include in the conversion path.
  • By default, Path to Conversion reports use a 30-day lookback window. Enter a custom Lookback Window when needed.
  • For assistance with a longer Lookback Window, contact your Account Manager or reach out through the Help Center.

Metrics

Available Metrics include:

  • Fractional Attribution: The portion of a conversion credited to the Attributed Impression represented by the row. Conversion credit is divided evenly across all Impressions associated with that conversion.
    • For example, if a conversion has 9 attributed Impressions, each Impression receives approximately 0.111 Fractional Attribution (1 ÷ 9).
    • A value of 0.021 indicates that the Impression received approximately 1/48 of the conversion credit.
    • When Fractional Attribution is summed across all Impressions associated with the same conversion, the total should equal approximately 1.
  • Fractional Conversion: The portion of an attributed Impression assigned to the conversion represented by the row. If the same Impression is associated with multiple conversions, the Impression is divided evenly across those conversions.
    • 1 indicates that the Impression is associated with one conversion.
    • 0.5 indicates that the Impression is associated with two conversions.
    • 0.333 indicates approximately three conversions.
    • 0.25 indicates four conversions.
    • 0.2 indicates five conversions.
  • Attributed Impressions: The number of attributed Impressions represented by the row. Because the Path to Conversion report is Impression-level, this value is typically 1 per row. Summing this column across the report provides the total number of Impressions attributed to conversions.
  • Total Cost: The Total Cost associated with the attributed Impression represented by the row.

IP Conversion Pixel: Page Visits

The IP Conversion Pixel: Page Visits report provides page visit activity recorded by selected IP Conversion Pixels.

Unlike the Path to Conversion report, Page Visits is not dependent on an attributed Impression or specific Line. Each row represents a visit recorded when the selected Pixel fired, regardless of whether the visitor was previously served an Ad.

This report can be used to analyze site activity, visitor location, Pixel-specific values, and optional conversion or custom data passed when the Pixel fires.

IP Conversion Pixel: Conversion Rate

The IP Conversion Pixel: Conversion Rate report measures conversion performance by comparing attributed conversions against Impressions over the selected Reporting Interval.

Conversion Rate is calculated as: Conversions ÷ Impressions

This report can be used to evaluate conversion performance over time and across selected Advertisers, Campaigns, and Lines.

Conversion Counting by Line

When the Line ID Dimension is included, conversions are reported at the Line level and are not de-duplicated across Lines. This behavior aligns with the conversion metrics displayed in the Pontiac UI.

For example, if a user is served an Ad from two different Lines within the same Campaign and later completes one conversion, that conversion may be attributed to both Lines. In this case:

  • Line 1 records 1 conversion.
  • Line 2 records 1 conversion.
  • The Campaign level total across those Lines may therefore show 2 conversions.

To report unique conversions across an Advertiser or Campaign for the selected date or dates, generate the report without the Line ID Dimension.

For unique conversion analysis across a full Campaign flight, use the IP Conversion Pixel: Path to Conversion report and de-duplicate the hashed IP address across the applicable dates.

Lookback Window

  • The Lookback Window determines how far before each conversion Pontiac searches for eligible Impressions to attribute to that conversion.
  • By default, IP Conversion Pixel reports use a 30-day lookback window. Enter a custom Lookback Window when needed. For assistance with a longer Lookback Window, contact your Account Manager or reach out through the Help Center.

Reach/Frequency Report

The Reach/Frequency Report provides insight into the number of unique users or devices reached by selected Advertisers, Campaigns, and Lines during the Reporting Interval.

The report includes:

  • Unique Device IDs (IFAs)
  • Unique IP Addresses
  • Unique Cookies IDs
  • Impressions Served

Use these values to estimate average Frequency for each identifier type: Frequency = Impressions Served ÷ Unique Identifier Count

For example, if a Campaign served 100,000 Impressions across 25,000 unique Device IDs, the estimated Device ID Frequency would be 4 Impressions per Device ID.

Because Device IDs, IP Addresses, and Cookie IDs use different methods to identify users or devices, each may produce a different Reach and Frequency estimate.

Conversion Tracking

Pontiac IP Conversions

Pontiac IP Conversion Pixels can be placed on an Advertiser’s website to measure online activity associated with users who were previously served an Ad through Pontiac. Examples of measurable activity include page visits, shopping cart activity, form submissions, and purchases.

IP Conversion attribution uses IP address data to associate website activity with previously served Impressions within the applicable Lookback Window. This allows users to evaluate online activity associated with Campaign delivery and analyze conversion performance within Pontiac.

Create an IP Conversion Pixel

  1. Open the applicable Advertiser in Pontiac.
  2. Select New Pixel.
  3. Enter a name for the Pixel and complete the applicable settings.
  4. Select Save.
  5. Once the Pixel has generated, open the Pixel to view the available implementation code.
  6. Copy the applicable Image or JavaScript version of the Pixel based on the website or tag management implementation.
  7. Implement the Pixel on the page or pages where the desired activity should be recorded.
  8. Associate the Pixel with the applicable Campaigns or Lines for attribution and reporting.

The required Pixel format and implementation method may depend on the configuration of the website or tag management platform where the Pixel is placed.

Pixel Placement

Pixel placement depends on the activity being measured.

  • Purchase or completed action: Place the Pixel on the page displayed after the action is completed, such as an order confirmation or Thank You page.
  • Specific page visit: Place the Pixel on the page where the visit should be recorded.
  • General site visits: Implement the Pixel so it fires across the applicable pages of the website.

Each time the Pixel fires, Pontiac records the applicable site activity for reporting. When eligible previously served Impressions are found within the Lookback Window, that activity can also be attributed to Campaign delivery.

Lookback Window

IP Conversion metrics displayed in Pontiac use a standard 30-day Lookback Window. This means an eligible website action must occur within 30 days of an eligible Impression to be included as a conversion. Custom Lookback Windows can be used with applicable IP Conversion reports in Custom Reporting. For assistance with a longer Lookback Window, contact your Account Manager or reach out through the Help Center.

Conversion Attribution

For Advertiser and Campaign metrics, a conversion may be attributed to more than one Line when eligible Impressions from multiple Lines are associated with the conversion.

For example, if a user is served an Ad from two different Lines within the same Campaign and later completes one conversion:

  • Line 1 may receive 1 conversion.
  • Line 2 may receive 1 conversion.
  • When aggregated across the Lines, the Campaign may therefore display 2 conversions.

This Line-level behavior is also reflected in the IP Conversion Pixel: Conversion Rate report when the Line Id Dimension is included.

To review unique conversions across an Advertiser or Campaign for selected dates, generate an IP Conversion Pixel: Conversion Rate report without the Line Id Dimension.

For Impression-level conversion paths and unique conversion analysis across a full Campaign flight, use the IP Conversion Pixel: Path to Conversion report. The Path to Conversion report can be used to review the individual Impressions attributed to each conversion and de-duplicate the hashed IP address across the applicable dates.

See the Custom Reporting documentation for additional setup instructions and definitions for each IP Conversion report type.

IP Conversion Reporting

Custom Reporting provides several reports for analyzing IP Conversion activity:

  • IP Conversion Pixel: Path to Conversion: Provides Impression-level data for Impressions attributed to conversions, including media, Creative, inventory, and fractional attribution details.
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Page Visits: Provides page visit activity recorded by the selected IP Conversion Pixels, independent of whether the visitor was previously served an Ad.
  • IP Conversion Pixel: Conversion Rate: Compares attributed conversions with Impressions and can be used to evaluate conversion performance across Advertisers, Campaigns, and Lines.

Use the report type that best aligns with the conversion analysis being performed.

Query String Parameters

Optional query string parameters can be used to pass additional visitor, conversion, and transaction data when an IP Conversion Pixel fires.

These values must be dynamically populated by the website, tag manager, or other Pixel implementation. When included in the Pixel request, supported values can be included in applicable Custom Reports.

Common parameters include:

  • Client IP (CLIENT_IP): Passes the visitor IP address observed by the website. This can be useful when the Pixel is implemented through a container or another environment where the IP address observed directly by the Pixel may not represent the visitor. When provided, Client IP is used for applicable attribution and reporting.
  • Order ID (ORDER_ID): Passes a unique order or transaction identifier.
  • Order Amount (ORDER_AMOUNT): Passes the value associated with the order or conversion for reporting and ROAS analysis.
  • Consumer ID (CONSUMER_ID): Passes a customer identifier associated with the activity.
  • Custom Variable 1 (VAR1): Passes a custom value for additional reporting.
  • Custom Variable 2 (VAR2): Passes a custom value for additional reporting.
  • Custom Variable 3 (VAR3): Passes a custom value for additional reporting.
  • Custom Variable 4 (VAR4): Passes a custom value for additional reporting.

For example, an e-commerce implementation may dynamically pass the transaction ID through Order ID and the transaction amount through Order Amount when a purchase Pixel fires. These values can then be included in Custom Reporting for additional conversion and ROAS analysis.

See Pixel Query String Parameters for the complete list of supported parameters and implementation details.

Foot Traffic Studies

Foot Traffic Attribution, powered by OnSpot, allows Advertisers to measure visits to tracked commercial Locations following Ad exposure through Pontiac.

Attribution uses Mobile Advertising IDs and mobile GPS location data to identify users who were served an Ad and were later observed at a configured Location.

How Foot Traffic Attribution Works

  • Mobile Attribution: OnSpot identifies users who were served an Ad and whose mobile device was later detected at a tracked Location.
  • CTV Household Extension: For CTV Campaigns, household extension can associate TVs, desktops, and laptops with mobile devices using household IP relationships. Mobile GPS data can then be used to attribute a Location visit to an exposed household.
  • Availability: Foot Traffic Attribution is currently available only in the United States.
  • Location Limit: Each Line can track up to 200 Locations.

Set Up Foot Traffic Attribution

Foot Traffic Attribution is configured at the Line level.

  1. Create or edit the applicable Line.
  2. Enable Foot Traffic in the Line Setup section.
  3. Open the Foot Traffic Reporting section.
  4. Select Add Location and configure the Locations to track.
  5. Save the Line.

See Line Foot Traffic Reporting for additional information about adding and managing Locations.

Foot Traffic Fee: A Foot Traffic fee may apply when Foot Traffic Attribution is enabled. The fee amount is configured at the Seat level and may vary by account. Contact your Account Manager or reach out through the Help Center if you have questions about the applicable fee.
