Microsoft Monetize - Reporting on guaranteed outcomes
Throughout Monetize reporting, transaction data from Guaranteed Outcomes is identifiable by the underlying Clearing Event associated with the type of outcome purchased. See Supported Viewability Standards for Guaranteed Outcomes and Supported Video Completion Standards for the list of supported Clearing Events.

The Clearing Event data in Monetize analytics reporting is available as of September 20th, 2017.

Note that in reporting on Standard Line Items (non-ALI), the Clearing Event dimension is also displayed as "-".
Tip
To eliminate the noise of other impression types in reporting, use the report filters to select Impression Type=RTB. This configuration ensures the report will only be generated for RTB impressions (the only impression type eligible for Guaranteed Outcomes).
Billing report
Data for Guaranteed Views activity are similarly available in the Buyer Billing Report. See the report Buying Billing Report for more information, as well as the related Understanding Your Invoice documentation.
