Setup & Config

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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Confirm the PBS version

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