Save, schedule and export reports

Save a report, schedule it daily, weekly or monthly, or export any date range with every row, then collect the CSV files from one place.

The Download Center makes report files for you and keeps them in one place. Use it when you want the same report every week without opening the page, or when a download from a report page was cut short and you need every row. Files are CSV, kept for 30 days, and are not emailed. You collect them here.

Which reports you can make

A file has the same columns and the same rules as the matching report page. It can never hold more than you may see. Publisher and advertiser files carry only your own money. Metrics are defined in What the numbers mean.

Before you start

• All dates are UTC days. A file covers at most 366 days.
• You can have 50 saved reports and 5 files waiting at once.
• A saved report runs with your access at the time it runs, in the account you saved it in.

Save a report and schedule it

1. Open the Download Center for your account, for example Download Center.
2. Under Save a report, type a name.
3. Choose the Report and what to group it by.
4. Choose the Dates: Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Month to date or Last month.
5. Choose a Schedule: On demand only, Daily, Weekly or Monthly. For Weekly, pick the day. For Monthly, pick a day from 1 to 28. For any schedule, pick a time in UTC.
6. Select Save report.

LtvAdx checks the report by running it for yesterday. If you do not have access to it, or the grouping is not allowed, it is refused now with the reason, and not on every later run.

Date presets end yesterday, so a day still in progress is never half-counted. The one exception is Month to date, which runs up to and including the day it is made.

Run a saved report now

1. In Saved reports, find the report.
2. Select Run now.
3. Watch the Files list. A file shows Waiting, then Making the file, then its row count and size.
4. When it is ready, select CSV to download it.

The list refreshes by itself while a file is being made.

Export a date range

Use this when a CSV from a report page says it has the first 10,000 of a larger number of rows.

1. Under Export a date range, choose the Report and what to group it by.
2. Set From and To. The end date cannot be in the future.
3. Select the Export button. It reads, for example, Export 90 days.
4. Collect the file from Files when it is ready.

The export has no row limit. A file can be up to 256 MB. If it is larger, the run fails and says so, and you can export a shorter range.

What happens next

• Scheduled files appear in Files after each run, marked scheduled. Exports are marked export.
• Files, and the list of them, are kept for 30 days.
• Select Delete to remove a saved report. Files already made stay until they expire.
• If you lose access to the account a saved report belongs to, the schedule pauses and shows why. To change a saved report, switch to the account it was saved in.

If something goes wrong

• Give the report a name. The name is required, and can be up to 120 characters.
• At most 50 saved reports. Delete one first.
• You have 5 files waiting. Wait for one to finish.
• Choose a range of 1 to 366 days. Shorten the dates.
• The file is over 256 MB. Narrow the date range.
• The file could not be made. Try a shorter range. If it keeps failing, contact support.
• Failed with a note about access. You no longer have access to the account the report was saved in.
