Playout metrics enable digital media network operators to record the proof-of-play of content items within a media zone in an advanced channel (sign). Recordings can be set to always be captured or set to a scheduled time period. You can generate a report to display the proof-of-play between specific time periods.

- Click Channels from the Appspace Menu navigation bar, and click the Channels tab.
- Select the desired advanced channel.
- Click the Edit tab, select the desired Media Zone widget.
- Check the Playout Metric in the PROPERTIES section.
- Click Apply, and exit the Widget Properties window once done.
Generating Content Playout Reports
- Click Admin > Reports from the Appspace Menu navigation bar, and click the Proof of Play Metrics tab.

NoteContent items will only be listed once the player is fully in-sync with the Appspace server. - Click the Generate Report button, to generate and export the report in *.xls format. The report is automatically downloaded into your default download folder.
