Chapter21 Proof of Play
Concepts

Implications of Changing Which Assets a Playlist Includes

In this release, proof-of-play reports for a given playlist during a given time range might not be correct
(CSCtr97593). In some cases, these reports can:
•
Omit playback records retroactively for assets that you trimmed from the playlist at a later time.
(These assets were once correctly part of the playlist and their playback count from that time
is relevant to this report.)
•
Insert playback records retroactively for assets that you added to the playlist at a later time. (These
assets were once correctly excluded from the playlist and their playback count from that time is
not relevant to this report.)

Campaigns (Formerly, Insertions)
Cisco Digital Signs includes methods to identify and assemble an affinity group from any combination
of presentations, playlists, and assets. We call this affinity group package a campaign.
Mingled elements within a campaign all share one clear and unifying purpose. For example, the elements
of your first campaign might all advertise a community celebration, even though they use various
languages or differ in other, key ways. However, you recognize for your own purposes that at least one
significant factor (the community celebration, in this example) unites them as an affinity group.
The benefit of campaigns is that you can audit and verify the scope of playback— individually and
collectively—for all elements that support one goal, initiative, policy, or event. On a DMP-by-DMP
basis, you can discover and demonstrate exactly which assets:
•
Played successfully, and when.
•
Were interrupted or prevented from playing, and when.
C
campaign
The campaign or other common goal among any one set of presentations, playlists, and assets that you
consider an affinity group.
Note In previous releases, we called campaigns “insertions.”
