# Setup & Config

Configure server-side bidding with Relevant Digital support before activating it.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Confirm the activation plan

Contact Relevant Digital support before enabling server-side bidding on a site.

Confirm the call type and bidder configuration together. This avoids wasting a test cycle.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the call type and scope

Open **Prebid Parameters**. Configure settings at the required scope:

1. **Global** applies to all publisher accounts and sites.
2. **Publisher Account** applies to all sites in that account.
3. **Site** overrides higher-level settings for one site.

Select one call type:

* **Client-Side Only** runs bidding in the browser.
* **Server-Side Only** runs bidding through Prebid Server.
* **Parallel (Hybrid)** runs both auctions simultaneously.

Use **Parallel (Hybrid)** for initial testing. It lets client-side and server-side bids compete.

For scope details, see [Manage Prebid settings with Prebid Parameters](/hb-manager/auction-behavior-and-optimization/manage-prebid-settings-with-prebid-parameters.md).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure reporting

Add the **Bidder** dimension to your report. Enable **Split by auction runner (client/server)**.

The split keeps client-side and server-side bids separate. You can then compare both auction paths for each bidder.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm the PBS version

After activation, confirm the running Prebid Server version. This helps with release-note comparisons and version-specific support requests.

See [How to Confirm Which Prebid Server Version We're Using?](/hb-manager/integrations-and-connections/hbm-and-prebid-server/how-to-confirm-which-prebid-server-version-were-using.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.relevant-digital.com/hb-manager/integrations-and-connections/hbm-and-prebid-server/setup-and-config.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
