Pickcel gives you Proof of Play and activity reporting out of the box. The Reports module in the Pickcel console is a hub grouped into Content Reports and Screen & Operations. From here you can see how often your media played, how long your screens were displaying content, and what actions users took in your account. Reports can be generated for a specific day, month, or custom date range, and downloaded as a .csv file.

Generating a report

Open the Reports module and click View reports on the report you want.
  • Media playback opens a list of saved reports. Click Generate Report, choose the media files, pick a month or custom range, and generate. Each report is added to the list to review and download.
  • Screen uptime and Audit logs open straight to a period picker. Choose Daily, Monthly, or Custom, then click Continue to see the results on screen.
Once a report is generated you can review it on screen and download it as a .csv file for your records.
