Campaign Platform Target Report Issue [Urgent]

[Michael Buetow]

Hello,

As of sometime 7/17/15 the Campaign Platform Target Report has started returning a descriptive string for the "Id" column as opposed to what was previously a number. This column is documented as

Id	ID of the main object of this row. Type Long Display Name Platform XML Attribute platform Behavior Attribute Filterable True Supports Zero Impressions True

Previously

<row campaignID='************' platform='30001' bidAdj='0%'/>

As of 7/17/15

<row campaignID='************' platform='mobile devices with full browsers' bidAdj='0%'/>

We've been pulling this report every day for a multitude of accounts without trouble for the last 6 months. Can we please get additional information on whether this change in value is permanent and if not how soon will it be reverted. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated as it is affecting all of our clients.

Thanks!

Michael

Hi,

Could one of you use the "Reply to Author" option to share with me a failed request log and the report you got as response? I'll ask the reports team to investigate this further.
