With placements, you can track where ads are shown in your apps. When you request an ad to be shown in the SDK, you simply add the placement id as a parameter in the call, as described in the SDK documentation.
For example, let's assume that you have a game app, and you want to show ads after each finished level and when the settings icon is tapped. You could then define two placements:
- id = "after_levels", and description = "After levels".
- id = "settings_tapped" and description = "Settings tapped".
When you call the function to show an ad after a level has finished, you would simply include the placement id "after_levels" as a parameter in the call. Similarly, when you call the function to show an ad at the point in the code where the settings icon is tapped, you would include the placement id "settings_tapped" as a parameter in the call. Please note that these are just examples, you can name your id:s and descriptions as you want. Placement id:s are case insensitive.
In the reports, you can group the data by placements to see statistics for specific locations in your apps. In that way, you can see exactly how many times ads are shown in the different places in your app.
