Ad pod

The Ad pod dimension reports each unique ad break, keyed by an auto-generated pod ID. Every ad in a session belongs to a parent ad pod, and the pod groups multiple ads played back-to-back. Use the dimension to break out engagement by ad break and as the join key for the Pod name and Pod position classifications.

How this dimension is populated

The ad pod ID is generated automatically by the SDK when an ad break start event fires. Direct API implementations construct it from the break index and start time, or supply a custom pod ID.

Dimension items

Each item is a unique ad pod ID. The ID is opaque (typically a hash of session ID, content ID, and break index) and is most useful as a grouping key when combined with Pod name for the friendly label.
