Header Bidding Sub IDs / Custom Variable Tracking

Sub IDs can be set-up to allow you to track custom variables within your campaign.  

For example, you could track the following unit map without requesting multiple tags by just using the Standard Name in this map as “YOUR_SUB_ID”:

Instructions for Implementing Header Bidding Sub IDs:

Add your Sub ID to your prebid configuration as follows:

           {
               bidder: 'underdogmedia',
               params: {
               siteId: ‘XXXXX',
                       subId: 'INSERT_YOUR_SUBID_HERE'
               }
            }

Replace XXXXX with your five-digit site specific Underdog Media Site ID and replace 'INSERT_YOUR_SUBID_HERE' with the custom sub ID of your choosing.

Using one of the examples from above, your code would look like this:

           {
               bidder: 'underdogmedia',
               params: {
               siteId: ‘XXXXX',
                       subId: 'ab-tablet-belowtitle-300x250'
               }
            }

Please Note:

• Only ONE Header Bidding SID per page is allowed.
• Multiple SubIDs per page are allowed.  Each placement can have its own SubID.
• SubIDs will not be logged in Raw Requests. A single request is made per pageview and is associated with multiple placements.

*Header Bidding Sub IDs are intended to be used for the placement on the page, and not appended to the request/tag URL …which may cause unpredictable Sub ID reporting.

Reporting:

You can view reports with your SubID values in the reporting tab of your publisher dashboard.  Select Sub IDs under Parameters when adding a new report.  See our article on Custom Ananlytics for more information.
