Labels
Think of a Label as a custom "tag" that can be added to a Partner, Advertiser or Offer which can be used for internal reporting, searching or filtering.
To create a label, first find the Partner, Advertiser or Offer to which you want to apply it by navigating either to Partners, Advertisers or Offers > Manage and clicking the name, then Edit. On the General tab, type the text for your label and hit "enter" on your keyboard.
Please Note:
You may apply multiple Labels per Partner, Advertiser or Offer.
AND Logic (Labels with multiple objects) | OR Logic (Labels with one object) |
When a label is applied to multiple types of objects (e.g., both Offers and Partners), the report uses AND logic.
Example: If a label is applied to both Offers and Partners, the report will only show data for Offers that have traffic from Partners when both the Offer AND the Partner have the label. This creates a more specific filter. | When a label is applied to only one type of object (e.g., only Offers), the report uses OR logic.
Example: If a label is applied only to Offers, the report will display all Offers with that label. This means you'll see Offer A OR Offer B OR Offer C, etc., as long as they have the label. |
You may use multiple words per Label.
You MUST hit the "enter" button on your keyboard in order for the Label to generate.
Remember to click Save only after all of your desired Labels appear in the Label field.
You can also navigate to Control Center - Segmentation Options > Label.
There you can set custom tags to link with a Partner, Advertiser, or Offer for internal reporting, searching, or filtering.
Categories
Categories provide a system for grouping Offers together for easy searching or reporting, both internally and externally. Since Categories are visible to Partners, common examples of categories include "Gaming", "Lead Gen", "Retail", etc. so that Partners can browse available offers accordingly.
In the image below, we can see that we are able to filter by Category under Offers - Manage:
Managing Categories
Navigate to Control Center - Segmentation Options > Categories. Here, you can add a new category or edit the status of an existing Category to either Active or Inactive.
Assigning a Category to an Offer
When adding or editing an offer, you can assign a Category to an Offer on the General tab by selecting from the drop-down list.
Using Categories in Reporting
In any report, select Category as a Filter to narrow your report results to those within the desired categories.
