Use the Performance tool to verify campaign changes, and understand how these changes might impact campaign performance, allowing you to better optimize your campaigns. The Performance tool shows campaign performance with the following metrics:
  • Starts: How many times your ad started playing for a player
  • Installs: How many people installed your app after they saw your ad
  • Spend: How much money you spent

Monitor changes to your campaign

In a User Acquisition campaign, it's important to monitor how changes you make to the campaign affect its performance. Selecting one of these dots reveals the details of those changes. These details display the correlation between the changes made to the campaign and the campaign performance. Use the following selectors to filter the data in the graph: A log form of the campaign history is also available, located next to the graph. View change details by selecting any day in the log. To download the campaign history in a .csv file, select Export CSV. To change the data represented in the .csv file, use the filter bar selectors to change your report parameters.
