Reporting dimensions (AMD)
Here you'll find a list of the dimensions available for use with the various reports dashboards and APIs for Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD).
Use of these dimensions in the Media Delivery Reports UI
All of the widgets revealed in a report's tab use one or more of these dimensions by default. However, some of the widgets let you view custom data via the Analyze data () functionality, where you can add or remove dimensions. See Analyze data shown in a report for full details.
Use of these dimensions in the Media Delivery Reports API
A dimension's name can differ slightly between the Media Delivery Reports UI and the Media Delivery Reports API v1. When applicable, both values are listed here. You can also run the List Adaptive Media Delivery data stores operation from the API, and do the following:
-
Review the response output and locate the data store that represents the type of report data you want.
-
From that data store, store the
id
values for the dimensions (and metrics) you want to use. -
Use these
id
values in the applicable Get Adaptive Media Delivery data operation to view filtered report data.
Some dimensions use the same name and are similar in their application, but are tied to specific functionality. Review the description for each and make sure you're using the proper API ID for the dimension you want.
