About Custom Reports
Custom reports allow you to customize the content and delivery of your report data using the campaign dimensions (such as the advertiser, placement, sites, or geos) and the metrics that matter most to you. You can either:
-
Completely configure campaign performance reports at a granular level.
-
Choose from pre-configured report templates, and optionally customize them further.
You can generate reports once, or schedule them daily, weekly, or monthly at 03:00 in the specified time zone according to specified criteria (such as every 15 days or on the 1st of each month). Once a report is generated, you can download it from Reports > Custom Reports or from linked report destinations of the following types:
- Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)

Path Length Beta: (Beta feature) Use this report to track the number of user interaction points required for conversions over time so you can choose the optimal ad frequency. The report shows the number of conversions by path length (interaction points), such as how many conversions occurred after users had only one ad interaction, two ad interactions, and so on. The report can include data for multiple conversion metrics and uses a specified lookback period between the first interaction and a conversion. Columns in the report include 鈥淧ath Length,鈥 鈥淣umber of <Conversion Metric Name 1>,鈥 鈥% <Conversion Metric Name 1>,鈥 <Conversion Metric Name 2>," 鈥% <Conversion Metric Name 2>,鈥 and so on.
Data is shown for each path length of up to 10; data for path lengths greater than 10 are grouped together.
-
Time to Conversion Beta: (Beta feature) Use this report to determine the optimal attribution lookback window and to identify campaigns with longer times to conversion, which may benefit from retargeting. The report shows the number of conversions by the length of time in days from the last interaction (ad exposure or click) to conversion. The report can include data for multiple conversion metrics and uses a specified lookback period between the first interaction and a conversion. Columns in the report include 鈥淭ime Taken (in days),鈥 鈥淣umber of <Conversion Metric Name 1>,鈥 鈥% <Conversion Metric Name 1>,鈥 <Conversion Metric Name 2>," 鈥% <Conversion Metric Name 2>,鈥 and so on. Conversions that take longer than the lookback period are grouped together in one row (for example, if the report uses a 30-day lookback period, then all conversions that take longer than 30 days to occur are grouped together in a row with a 鈥淭ime Taken (in days)鈥 value of 鈥30+鈥).

Cross-Account Reporting cross-account-reporting
Any organization with multiple DSP accounts can optionally enable cross-account data in custom reports, according to the organization鈥檚 needs.

To enable and configure this feature, contact your 蜜豆视频 Account Team.
Once the feature is enabled for your organization, you can filter any of the following report types by account: Custom, Site, Segment, Geo, Device, Frequency (by Impression), and Conversion.
Your account settings at Settings > Account indicate a) the other accounts whose data is available to your account and b) the other accounts that can access your account鈥檚 data.
The Custom Reports View
Reports > Custom Reports lists your existing reports, including reports that were generated, those that are scheduled for future generation, and those that failed.

You can further filter the list by status, whether the report is recurring or one-time, the report type, the destination type, and the report creator.
