Deprecation of "video line item" filter

With the migration to Interactive reports, we’ll remove an implicit video line item filter for dimensions related to video position and pod position. The impact for existing Interactive reports may be a higher number of "Unknown" values, especially when the recorded event is associated with a display event. Publishers can filter specifically for video line items using "Line Item Environment Type = Video Player."

Run Interactive reports for orders and line items
You’ll soon be able to generate an Interactive report from your orders and line Items in Ad Manager. Once launched, you’ll find “Run report” buttons for these items that open an Interactive report.

Details on the migration to Interactive reports
In Ad Manager "Reporting," Interactive reports will replace Reports in 2026.

Interactive reports, now available to all Ad Manager publishers, offers an enhanced reporting experience, including such features as AI report generation, options for deeper analysis, flags for notifications, building and viewing reports on a single page, and more.

Throughout the migration, we'll continue adding dimensions and metrics to Interactive reports. For any dimensions or metrics you'd like added to Interactive reports, please share your suggestions. Note that dimensions and metrics marked "Deprecated" in the Reports tool won't be migrated to Interactive reports.
