Session Details Reporting data type
Session Details Reporting is a standard Experience Data Model (XDM) data type that tracks data related to media playback sessions.
Media reporting fields are used by Adobe services to analyze the media collection fields sent by users. This data, alongside other specific user metrics, are computed and reported upon. The schema encompasses a wide range of properties that provide insights into user behavior and content consumption patterns. Use the Session Details Reporting data type to capture user engagement by logging playback events, ad interactions, progress markers, pauses, and other metrics.
