How to interpret the data
The BR3 shows the number of content access attempts that were denied on the supplier’s platform. The most common reason for access denied is due to "content item not licenced" and this is specified under "Metric Type" as "no_license". Other possible types are "turnaway" due to simultaneous/concurrent user limit allowed by the licence, or "other" for any other reasons. The report only includes titles that had access denials in the selected period from the selected supplier. If a title is available from more than one supplier, only access denials from the selected supplier is shown.
