Using Custom keys in reporting

Make sure to check Available for Reporting Yes  if you wish to select it as a report dimension

If left as No  it will only be available in the Advanced Targeting  section of the RTBIS for request routing

Note: you can create up to 10 reportable KVPs per organization. There is no limitation on non-reportable keys

In the example,  lmsid  is Custom Key 14 which is selected as the dimension for the report

 

Using Custom KVP’s for targeting

Custom keys can be used in RTBIS targeting for request routing

After adding the custom key it can be added to Targeting > Other  for request routing

In the example, the RTBIS is selected only if the incoming request has custom key player_id with one of the specified values
