Advanced Mapping Tool
Review missing SSP traffic, match new placements, and import updated mappings into Yield with the advanced mapping tool.
Advanced mapping allows you to review and adjust mappings for new placements to ensure data is accurately reflected in your reports.
It is recommended to use this functionality periodically (for example, once a week). It will pick up recently added placements in your ad server and SSP accounts, ensuring the data is included in your reports.
The import is not performed automatically because inconsistencies in placement naming could result in incorrect mapping. For this reason, the advanced import includes a step where you can review and adjust the mapping before the import is completed.
Open Advanced Mapping
Go to Publisher Accounts and click the 
Advanced Mapping button.
The dialog looks like this:
You usually do not need to change the settings. If you see a lot of traffic without revenue on the Missing SSP Traffic page, consider enabling Only import placements with revenue (not only traffic). Click Save as default to keep that setting.
Generate the structure
Click Generate structure. This does not update the system. It only shows which SSP placements will be added and where they will go when you later click Perform import.
Grey text shows existing publishers, sites, and placements. Black text shows new ones. Enable Show all existing if you want to view the full structure, including areas where nothing will be added.
Review and adjust matches
Check the placements listed under Failed Matches on the right. These are placements where the import could not determine the correct Publisher, Site, or Placement. Add these manually later through the Publisher pages.
If an SSP placement appears in the wrong location, select it and click the first Move button. If you do not want to import a placement yet, click Exclude from this import.
The other Move and Exclude buttons work the same way for selected new placements or sites.
After clicking Ok, review the updated tree.
Perform the import
When everything looks correct, click Perform import to apply the update.
All placements shown in the tree view on the left will be imported, unless Show all existing has been selected, in which case everything will be displayed. The checkboxes are only used for the Move/Exclude functionality and do not indicate whether placements will be imported.
In conclusion, it is recommended to perform an import every one to two weeks to avoid "losing" too much traffic in the reports. Most of the time, however, the procedure simply involves pressing the Generate and Perform import buttons.
