You can also add the recipients to receive the reports automatically. Once you finish creating your report, you can “Save” your report and it will generate a report based on the start date or you can “Save and Run Once”, which will save your report template and run the report you created.

Note: If you need information about setting up a FTP Connection, please reach out to your Flashtalking contact.

AUTO-REFRESH:

“Auto-Refresh” is a general term for ad technology that initiates a new request for an ad impression to be served without the requirement of a new page load. An Auto-Refresh impression might occur in the context of say a live-updating stock-ticker or sports scoreboard, or it could be triggered by time, some kind of user-interaction/activity, or through other programming. If you use Auto-Refresh ad technology, and the total number of impressions triggered by Auto-Refresh is material (>5%), we can discuss implementing the capability to provide a segregated count of such impressions in our reporting. If this applies to you, and you would be able to provide Flashtalking with such a signal, say as a parameter on the ad call, please contact us to discuss implementation.
