## Understanding Metrics

### Basic Metrics

| Metric                       | Description                                          |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Impressions**              | Number of times the ad was displayed on user screens |
| **Clicks**                   | Number of times users clicked the ad                 |
| **CTR (Click-Through Rate)** | Click rate. Clicks ÷ Impressions × 100               |

<Note>
  Impressions and clicks are each counted at most once per ad request, following industry-standard measurement guidelines.
</Note>

<Note>
  For CPM/CPC campaigns, ads served to a device at the time of an ad request are what get displayed. As a result, even after a campaign reaches its target impressions/clicks and can no longer serve, or has ended, ads delivered to devices just before that point may still be shown or clicked, and those events will be counted — causing final figures to slightly exceed the configured target.
</Note>

### Cost Metrics

| Metric                    | Description                |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **CPM (Cost Per Mille)**  | Cost per 1,000 impressions |
| **CPC (Cost Per Click)**  | Cost per click             |
| **CPP (Cost Per Period)** | Fixed cost per period      |

### Video Metrics

These metrics show the viewing quality of campaigns that include video creatives. They are available at the campaign, ad product, ad unit, and creative levels.

| Metric                      | Description                                                 |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Valid Views**             | Number of times the video was played for at least 3 seconds |
| **Valid View Rate**         | Valid Views ÷ Video Impressions × 100                       |
| **Completed Views**         | Number of times the video was played to the end             |
| **View-Through Rate (VTR)** | Completed Views ÷ Video Impressions × 100                   |

<Note>Video metrics are only counted for items where video creatives were served. Campaigns running only image creatives will show 0.</Note>

## Viewing Reports

### Jump in from a campaign or product

Clicking the **Performance Report** button on a campaign or ad product detail screen opens the Report menu in a new window with that campaign or product filter pre-applied. You can immediately apply date ranges, segments, and additional filters to continue your analysis.

### Date Range Selection

Set the query period at the top of the screen. You can select preset periods (Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days) or specify custom start and end dates using the date picker.

### Query Criteria (Tabs)

Select the data type to view from the top tabs.

| Tab            | Description               |
| -------------- | ------------------------- |
| **Campaign**   | Performance by campaign   |
| **Ad Product** | Performance by ad product |
| **Ad Unit**    | Performance by ad unit    |
| **Creative**   | Performance by creative   |

### Segments

You can further segment the data. For example, selecting the **Creative** segment in the Campaign tab lets you view creative-level performance for each campaign.

### Filtering

You can filter to view only specific campaigns, ad products, ad units, or creatives. Adding a filter displays only those items in the table. Multiple selections are supported.

### Daily/Hourly View

Check the checkbox to view data broken down by day or hour.

| Option     | Description                    |
| ---------- | ------------------------------ |
| **Daily**  | Display data separated by date |
| **Hourly** | Display data separated by hour |

### Edit Columns

Click the **Edit Columns** button to select which columns to display in the table. You can also drag and drop to reorder columns. Your settings are automatically saved and persist on your next visit.
