Dimension Management enables the conversion of custom tags into custom dimensions for use in VSI and Ad Experience. Users can select the required tags for conversion, adhering to a tag conversion limit specified in their company's contract.
The created dimensions appears in the dimension selection list while creating the filters. This list provides the details of the last action done with date and time details. Enable a dimension for both VSI and Ads to enable it for Ads metrics. Some things to keep in mind:
- Filters cannot be created based on custom tags.
- Pulse and API return information ONLY for dimensions. Non-dimensional tags are not part of the UI and API response.
- Filtering on some Special Conviva Tags (Viewer/Client ID, VSF/VPF Error Codes, Streaming Hosts) is still supported.
