Reports provide a quick and easy to understand way for you to check in on how your advertisements and campaigns are performing.
There are several different kinds of reports that you can run and share in Broadstreet. The types of reports can be broken into two broad categories: reports meant for your internal use as a publisher, and reports that are meant to be sent and shared with advertisers. All of the report types can be downloaded in CSV form and some have dynamic links where reports can be generated in real time. All reports generated from dynamic links can later be accessed under Report History. More information on report history can be found here.
Advertiser reports have some more advanced sharing options and can in some cases be set up so that the reports are sent automatically. More information on automatic reports can be found here.
Note that any deleted advertisers, advertisements or campaigns, will not appear in reports as the data has been removed from Broadstreet.
To understand which report you want to run for your situation, read through the summary of report types below.
