The analysis uses the copy ID of the material played at each device to relate the event to its campaign. Also the device ID is used to bring the viewer or subscriber attributes into the analysis but the ID is hidden to prevent any analysis from identifying the viewer.
The primary analysis goal is to accumulate the actual delivery impressions that did occur for each campaign and to enable analysis by the viewer attributes.
