Running a Campaign Report

After the import log files containing your campaign data are imported into the Data Warehouse, you can run reports to analyze the effectiveness of your ad campaigns. Log files can be run daily, weekly, or monthly. To receive the schedule for importing log files on your site, contact your system administrator.

You can use Campaign Manager module to view a list of reports. When you view the list of reports, the Analysis Reports module appears on top of the Campaign Manager. From the Reports module, you can run both dynamic and static reports. When you first open the Reports module, the default view assumes a search for "All Reports." You can narrow your list by using more specific search criteria. For information about advertising reports, see Advertising Reports.
