Filters

Use the following filters:

  • Active: Filter active (True) or inactive (False) deals.
    A deal is inactive in the following cases:
    • The deal is upcoming (start date in the future), and it's activated automatically at its start date.
    • The deal has reached its end date.
    • The deal has been deactivated by a user.
    • The deal has been deactivated automatically because it hasn't received any bid for a full year.
  • Buyers: Filter deals by buyer.
  • Deal type: Filter by the following deal types:
    • Guaranteed deal
    • Preferred deal
    • Private auction
  • Delivery status: Filter by delivery status. The system checks the delivery status every 30 minutes.
    • Delivering: The deal was recently activated or has generated impressions within the last 12 hours. See “Example 1: Delivering”, later in this document.
    • Not delivering… : The deal isn't delivering because at least one of the following statuses applies:
      • Not delivering - No bid requests: The deal hasn't sent bid requests within the last 5 hours.
      • Not delivering - No bids: The deal hasn't received bid responses within the last 12 hours. See “Example 2: Not delivering - No bids”, later in this document. 
      • Not delivering - No winning bids: The deal hasn't received winning impressions (server-side impressions) within the last 12 hours.
      • Not delivering - No impressions: The deal hasn't received client-side impressions within the last 12 hours. See “Example 3: Not delivering - No impressions”, later in this document. 
  • Soon deactivated: The deal is active and sending bid requests but hasn't received bid responses for 8 consecutive months. The counter resets if the deal is paused, modified, or stops sending bid requests. The deal remains in Soon deactivated status for additional 4 months and then changes to status Deactivated.

Example 3: Not delivering - No impressions

The following timeline shows a deal with a drop in impressions more than 12 hours ago and a drop in winning bids less than 12 hours ago. The status is Not delivering - No impressions because the deal received no impressions over the past 12 hours.
