New Certified Adapters

Three new Certified Adapters join the IX Library Ecosystem : AppNexus Network Adapter, EMX digital, and GroupM.

• AppNexus Network Adapter is a second AppNexusbidding adapter that was designed for specific IX Library integrations. It allows publishers to call AppNexus twice, from two different seats in the IX Library. Approval from the AppNexus team is required to use this adapter.
• EMX digital is the new EMX adapter. EMX is currently moving all publishers from their old adapter to this one. The existing EMX adapter is now marked Legacy in the Index UI and will be deprecated when the migration is complete. The ad server key values and creative tags remain the same. Publishers must disable the legacy EMX adapter when enabling EMX digital, or both the publisher and EMX will experience a drop in revenue.
• GroupM is a new bidding adapter that publishers can choose to configure in their IX Library.

The Index UI reflects these changes. You'll see the new adapters in the Configure Other Adapters section under the Add Adapters drop-down list (Controls > Inventory > IX Library).

New bcrid Field in Impression Extension

Bids with new creatives that Index Exchange (Index)) has not reviewed can’t win an auction and silently fail until they pass our audit. To help buyers exclude creatives under review when bidding, we'll now pass bcrid in the imp extension to identify the DSP's creative IDs under review (blocked) that are excluded from an auction. By passing bcrid, DSPs can avoid bidding on creative IDs under review and increase win rate by bidding on creatives eligible to participate in an auction. To learn more, see bcrid.

Our long term plan is to utilize the new ad management API that’s part of OpenRTB 3.0 to have buyers submit creatives ahead of time.

Improved Supply Chain Transparency

In our ongoing efforts to improve supply chain transparency, we've added a new object, schain, to the source.ext object of a bid request. schain provides visibility into the supply chain path by:

Bid Request Changes

Starting Apr 1, 2019 with the release completely finishing Apr 5, 2019, Index Exchange (Index) is making the following bid request changes:

• Updating OpenRTB Version in Bid Request Header to 2.5. This update enables all DSPs to instantly receive newly supported fields as they become available. Since OpenRTB 2.5 is backwards compatible (with the exception of a few fields that Index does not support), we do not expect any disruptions in bidding behavior. Any fields that were not available in previous versions, will now be accessible in OpenRTB 2.5. For more information, see our List of supported OpenRTB bid request fields for DSPs.
• Removing legacy custom fields and objects. We're removing these two extensions as they are redundant and can be found in other objects:
  • Our custom deals object extension. The same information is located in the deals object array within the imp.pmp object.
  • Our custom ssl extension (Secure Sockets Layer). The same information is located in the secure field within the imp object.
• We're also no longer passing non-standard information about the site ID (e.g. 6429 = Astrology) in the keywords field.

Index UI

We have made a number of tweaks and improvements to the Index UI:

• Added the currency to the deal's Floor Rate field. When creating a new deal or editing an existing deal, the currency of the deal's floor rate is now displayed.
• Improved dual selection boxes for selecting deals and deal sections. To accommodate site tags and deal sections with long names, we have increased the width of the selection boxes in the Placements, Deal Sections and Deals screens.
• Added Export to CSV feature. Looking to audit all the deals that have been created on our platform? Now you can export all of the data in the Deals table with the Export to CSV button.
• Added the advertiser name in deal's Buyer Seat ID field. When you add the optional Buyer Seat ID to a deal, the advertiser we have registered for the seat you enter now also displays. If we have never registered the advertiser to the seat ID you entered, the message "Cannot be found" displays. This means transactions for your deal will be slightly delayed when bids begin to flow from the DSP. Even if Human Verification is turned off, our Ad Quality team will need to add the Buyer Seat ID to our platform to allow your deal to transact.
• Changed the default end date when creating deals. Deal clutter in your bid stream to DSPs occurs when individual bid requests to DSPs are flooded with valid deal IDs. To help DSPs focus on deals that are relevant, when you create new deals, the default end date is now Feb 28th of the following calendar year. This end date gives you the chance to evaluate expiring deals two months into the new calendar year.
  Note: This new end date does not affect any pre-existing deals on your account, and the end date is only a suggestion; you can change it by editing the End Date field.
• Added a search for campaign by creative ID. Users who have access to the hexadecimal creative ID from the ifnotify URL can now use it to look up campaigns in the Campaign Manager screen. You can search using one creative ID or multiple IDs separated by commas.
• Added a search for campaign by campaign ID. Some users have reported malformed dates when importing CSV files from our Custom Reports feature in Microsoft Excel. We have updated the date format to reflect the ISO-8601 standard to fix this issue.
• Changed the format of date fields in Custom Reports. Some users have reported malformed dates when importing CSV files from our Custom Reports feature in Microsoft Excel. We have updated the date format to reflect the ISO-8601 standard to fix this issue.
• Added Deal ID in Inventory Statistics. Along with the Deal Name, we now also display your Deal ID when looking up deal information in the Inventory Statistics screen.
• Improved graphs in Inventory Statistics. We fixed a bug where the graphs in the Inventory Statistics would display data even if your search parameters resulted in no data being found. We have also updated the graph titles to better describe the time the data is valid for.
• Added Deal ID filtering in Inventory Statistics. In Inventory Statistics, you can now filter by Deal ID(s).
  Note: Open market spend will still appear in the results and the start and end dates you enter affect the table data only.
• Added brand URL to be filtered when blocking brands. In Campaign Settings, when you search for brands to block, brand URL landing pages will also be searched for matching brands.
