View a list of the available dimensions and measurements in the Media Transparency Center.

Here are the Dimensions and Measurements available within the Media Transparency Center.

Dimensions

Dimension Name Type Description
IO Key Text A unique identification for the specific IO
IO Name Text The name that will help describe and identify the IO in Marketing Cloud Intelligence
IO Cost Type Text

Can be one of the following types which will define how Recalculated Cost (see further down) will be calculated for the relevant IO items (see below):

  • CPM
  • CPC
  • CPCV
  • CPE
  • CPV
  • VCPM
  • CPA
  • dCPM
  • dCPC
  • FLAT

This list can also contain custom cost types as defined in the workspace Settings > Media Transparency Center > Custom Cost Types

The following formula can be used in as part of the mapping process in order to match a cost type to the preset ones in Marketing Cloud Intelligence:

IF(csv['RATE_TYPE'] == "Flat Rate","FLAT",csv['RATE_TYPE'])

Where:

  • RATE_TYPE: is the name of the field in your file.
  • "Flat Rate": is how it appears in your file.
  • "FLAT": is the Marketing Cloud Intelligence value to convert to.
IO Start Date Date The start date of the IO. The calculations defined by this IO will be relevant for delivery data after this date.
IO End Date Date The end date of the IO. The calculations defined by this IO will be relevant for delivery data before this date.
IO Target Type Text

Can be one of the following types which will define the target for the IO in the Margin Adjustment tab.

  • CPM
  • CPC
  • CPA

This list can also contain custom target types as defined in the workspace Settings > Media Transparency Center > Custom Target Types

IO Target Value Number The target value that will be used to measure the actual value against in the Margin Adjustment tab for an IO.
IO Rate Number The rate that will be used for most cost types calculations (as described above)
IO Capped Cost Number The planned budget for this IO
IO Group Capped Cost Number An IO Group planned budget, separate from the IO capping.
IO Booked Units Number The booked units for this IO — the amount of booked impressions for a CPM based IO
IO Fixed Cost Number The fixed cost that will be used for Flat cost type calculation only.
IO Margin Rate Number

The margin that will be used on top of the recalculated cost.

Note: When Margin Rate is uploaded as part of a TotalConnect Data Stream, it must be a numeric value between 0 and 1. For example to apply a 10% margin the uploaded value should be 0.1.

IO Custom Attribute 1,2,...,60 Text These additional attributes can contain any additional information to group and filter the IOs.
Conversion Tag Key Text List of Conversion Tag Keys which if set will define the conversions that will attributed to the IO, this will be used to calculate cost for CPA IOs
Items Text List of Media Buy Keys or Campaign and Site Keys that will define the delivery data that will be attributed to this IO

Measurements

Measurement Name Type

Aggregation

Function

Description
IO Actualized Cost (Accumulative) The sum of the IO Actualized cost up until the row’s date.
Actualized Cost

IO Share of Total * IO Actualized Cost (Accumulative) will give the assumed actual cost of the delivery item.

Calculation:

IO Actualized Cost * (Recalculated cost/Recalculated Cost (total))

If the IO has a FLAT rate the calculation will be:

IO Actualized Cost * (Impression/Impressions (total))

In other words, if there are no Impressions the value will be "0"

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates, IO items (Media Buy, Site, Campaign)

IO Actualized Cost By Day Currency  

The daily cost up to the point where the IO Capped Cost was reached. On the specific day when that happened it will contain the remaining budget up to the capped cost. On the next days, the measurement will contain zero cost.

The idea behind this metric is to show the IO’s total cost up to a given day.

The formula behind this measurement is:

Recalculated Cost - Recalculated Cost (Accumulative) + Actualized Cost (Accumulative)

Returns 0 if the calculation results in a negative value.

Can be used with: IO Dimensions, Dates, IO items (Media Buy, Site, Campaign)

IO Group Actualized Cost Currency

IO Group Share of Total * IO Group Actualized Cost (Accumulative)

gives the assumed actual cost of the delivery item when looking at the IO group level.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, delivery entities, Dates

IO Group Actualized Cost (Accumulative) Currency

The sum of the IO Group’s Actualized cost up until the row’s date.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Group Actualized Cost (Total) - Currency The total of IO Group Actualized Cost. Used for calculations
IO Booked Units Number LIFETIME

Always includes the booked units as defined on the IO

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates, IO items (Media Buy, Site, Campaign)

IO Booked Units (Accumulative) Number LIFETIME

The IO Booked Units, divided by the amount of days between IO Start Date and IO End Date, multiplied by the amount of elapsed days from IO Start Day to a given day.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Capped Cost Currency LIFETIME

Always includes the capped cost as defined on the IO.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Group Capped Cost currency LIFETIME

Always includes the group capped cost as defined on the IO level, at the IO Group Capped Cost field. This is a separate value from the IO capped cost, meaning it will not sum up the IO capped Costs, but apply a separate capping at the IO Group level.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO days Number MIN Total amount of days between the IO start date and end date
IO Expected Cost (Accumulative) Currency LIFETIME

The IO Capped Cost, divided by the amount of days between IO Start Date and IO End Date, multiplied by the amount of elapsed days from IO start day to a given day.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Expected Cost (Daily) Currency Is calculated as [Capped Cost]/ [IO Days]
IO Margin Rate (Daily) Number AVG The IO’s Daily Margin as set in the Margin Adjustment tab
IO Media Cost Margin Currency SUM

The margin per media buy, data uploaded by the user.

When this data is mapped the recalculated cost is calculated -

cost/(1- IO Margin Rate) + Media Buy Margin

IO Total Margin Currency SUM Is calculated- [Media Buy Margin (currency) + IO Margin Rate (currency)]/recalculated cost (no margin)
IO Media Cost (Accumulative) Currency LIFETIME

The sum of the Media Cost up until the row’s date.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Group Media Cost (Accumulative) Currency LIFETIME

The sum of the IO Group’s Media Cost cost up until the row’s date.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Recalculated Cost (no margin) Currency SUM

The IO Recalculated Cost without the addition of the margin. Depends on the cost type that was defined in the IO Cost Type (see above) and is calculated for the relevant IO items:

  • CPM: IO Rate * Impressions / 1000
  • CPC: IO Rate * Clicks
  • CPA: IO Rate * Conversions (from the conversion tags defined in the IO)
  • CPCV: IO Rate * Video Fully Played
  • CPE: IO Rate * Social Total Engagements
  • VCPM: IO Rate * Viewed IAB Impressions / 1000
  • CPV: IO Rate * Video Views
  • dCPM: Media Cost / ( 1- IO Margin Rate )
  • dCPC: Media Cost / ( 1 - IO Margin Rate )
  • FLAT: will show no value

If a value exists in the IO Margin field, this Margin will be added to the above calculated cost.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, IO items (Media Buy, Site, Campaign), Dates

IO Recalculated Cost Currency SUM

The IO Recalculated Cost (No Margin) including the margin:

IO Recalculated Cost (No Margin) / (1 - Margin)

IO Recalculated Cost (Accumulative) Currency LIFETIME

The sum of the IO Recalculated cost from the IO’s start date, up until the current row’s date or the IO’s end date.

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Group Recalculated Cost (Accumulative) Currency LIFETIME

The sum of the IO Group Recalculated cost up until the row’s date

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Group Recalculated Cost (Total) Currency

The total of the IO Group Recalculated Cost (Accumulative). Used for calculations.

IO Remaining Budget Currency

The IO's remaining budget for a given point in time.

The formula behind this measurement is:

IO Capped Cost - Actualized Cost (Accumulative)

Can be used with: IO dimensions, Dates

IO Share Of Total

Recalculated Cost of the Table Item (each row) / IO Recalculated Cost (Total)

For FLAT rate:

Impressions for the Delivery Unit/ Total Impression of the IO

IO Group Share Of Total Recalculated Cost of the item/IO Group Recalculated Cost (Total)
