Documentation backlog

Use this backlog to prioritise missing documentation. Partial means a guide exists, but it does not answer the full question.

Extend existing guides

1. Floor pricing diagnostics — Add why pbjs.getConfig('floors') can return {}. Include runtime checks and the expected configuration source.

3. Alarm email recipients — Extend the HBA and ARI alarm guides. Document the delimiter and syntax for multiple email recipients.

4. Stored bid and auction responses — Extend the PBS section. Explain how to capture and use stored responses during QA.

5. Bulk import CSV — Extend Bulk import (automated mapping) of your HB structure with .csv. List required columns and the duplicate-placement limitation or workaround.

7. Placement sizes and targeting — Extend Setting up placement types. Explain device-specific sizes and 1x1.

8. Reporting exports and API — Extend Extracting Reporting Data via Manual or Emailed CSV. Add the current API reference and Power BI or SQL ingestion guidance.

9. User visibility filters — Extend Sales Users and Sales Portfolios. Document “Filter by my advertisers”, modes, Admin and Sales visibility, and the known gap.
