Asset reports provide user activity metrics related to videos that are linked to a content owners' assets.

For example, on a particular day, suppose a video is viewed 10 times, then it is claimed, and then it is viewed another 10 times. The asset report for that day will state that the video was viewed 20 times, even though only 10 of those views occurred after the claim took place. Metrics on all successive days should accurately reflect user activity related to the claimed video.
