Adform has introduced two new dimensions to support our robust video capabilities - RTB Video Placement Type and RTB Video Position. These will allow you to more easily compare your ad performance in various placements and positions and adjust targeting accordingly. RTB Video Placement Type groups data by video placement type. It indicates whether the ad is played in the video player itself (in-stream) or auto-plays in a large format player outside the video player whenever it is in view (out-stream). RTB Video Position groups data by video ad position. The values (Pre-roll, Mid-roll, Post-roll) indicate whether the ad is played before, during, or after the streaming video content. These dimensions are available in the Custom Reports and the Reporting Stats API.

For even more transparency in campaign management and reporting tools, Adform has adopted the IAB Open Measurement SDK (OM SDK) which offers a standardized ad viewability measurement approach for vendors and systems. The release comes with a few limitations: The Adform SDK is not yet compatible with the IAB Open Measurement SDK, and ad verification for video ads is not supported in the current adaptation. Following this release you might have noticed a change in the number of viewable placements.

Soon, you will be able to use much longer names for your campaigns and RTB line items. Now, the maximum lengths are 99 and 100 characters respectively. After this release, you can use names as long as 256 characters.
For more transparency and to enable you to track Data Events and their limits much easier, you will be able to track daily and monthly Data Events via the DMP Dashboard. If you have signed a contract based on Data Events, you will also have an opportunity to track your Data Events Limit on the dashboard. Data Events will also be available in the Import Reports capability.
