Reports: Overview
First, you should familiarize yourself with a general report view:
Most of the options will be available all the time, however, some of them (for example, report categories) are contextual and may change accordingly.
Report Types
The main way to differentiate one reports from another is by the number of elements a report is based on:
Global Report
A report that is based on all elements from a given category is called a Global report. An example of such a report is the campaigns report, which contains information about all running campaigns.
How to open a global report?
To open this report, click a report category.
When should you use a global report?
When you need to get a broader view of everything that is going on on your account. In global reports, you don't have the drill-down option or the Live events category, so the highest level of data granularity is hidden. However, global reports offer a perfect sneak peek into your campaigns' or offers' profitability.
