Data requirements and explanations
browsiLayout key-value
The layout comparison dashboard relies on the ‘browsiLayout=n’ key-value, that allows Browsi to connect layouts to different GAM metrics. Granting Browsi permissions to create key-values in the publisher GAM is necessary for the data flow.
The data presented in the dashboard for each layout will be sent on the impressions that got the ‘browsiLayout=n’ key-value. Unless the publisher configures this key-value on their impressions, the data in the dashboard will present Browsi impressions only.
