Widget --> Other --> Proof of Play

In Contents you have the opportunity to enable widget statistics as well as asset statistics.

Widget statistics​

After you enabled widget statistics, you can gain proof of play data from the widget itself.

  • How many times the widget was played
  • How many clicks happened on the widget
  • etc

Widget level report will not collect proof of play data from the assets inside!

Currently Widget level report cannot be analyzed visually in our legacy UI, only CSV report can be downloaded.

To see the reports in chart form, please use our new 2.0 UI.
More info about Proof of play in 2.0 ui: here

Asset statistics​

After you enabled asset statistics, you can gain proof of play data from every single item that has been played inside the widget.

  • How many times the asset was played inside the widget
  • How many clicks happened on each asset inside
  • etc

For example:

  • You have an image widget, which can contain only 1 image, you can gain report from only this image.
  • But if you have a gallery widget with 5 images, you can gain report from every single item that is inside the widget.

Asset level report will not collect proof of play data from the whole widget!

If you want to collect Asset and Widget proof of play, you have to enable both option.
