To build a rates analysis report, ensure that the BMD Rates interface has been set-up in the environment.   (Please contact your IT and BCC if this has not been set-up).

To start building the report:

1. Open a new eTAM standard report
2. In the Media Tab - it is IMPORTANT to select stations wich has rates loaded.  For example Seven Syd, Seven Mel, Seven Ade and Seven Bris NOT Network Seven. Network Seven includes Seven Metro Five Cap which does not have rates loaded.
3. In the Period Tab, there are two options available depending on the report required:
   • For future dates - change the period menu to "Week Averages" to map future dates to existing survey.
   • Or remain in the calendar and select "Actual" dates
4. Day part - select/enter the required day part
5. Data Type - in the Rates selection window, select the required metric for example Rate or CPT or CPM. And any other metric.
6. Back in the report tab, build the required report layout.

Once the report is ready to process - hit the "Run" button on the main tool bar.  You will be prompted to log in to the BMD rates interface.  Select the required Agency rate levels.  NOTE: this is an BMD interface - any questions on this application, please direct these to Media Ocean.

Rates Method:

When working with multimarkets and rates, there are three options to calculate rates.  These can be changed in the fusion settings, the options are:

• Average rates across markets - this will average rates across markets when a markets are not broken out  or an average result in the Grand Summary
• Total rates across markets or - this will display a sum of all rates across markets when markets are not broken out, as well as an sum of rates in the Grand Summary
• Total rates across stations per market - this will display a sum of rates of stations per market.
