Custom filters

Use campaign filters across the top of Ads Manager to more easily find the campaigns, ad groups, or ads you want to evaluate. You can filter campaigns by:

• Funding source
• Objective
• Status
• Campaign name

Add as many filters as you want by clicking “add filter” shown below:

You can also save these filters, to easily go back to any filtered view. Filter sets are unique to each advertiser.

Custom metrics

By default you will see all Results, Cost per Result, and Result rate - by objective. To see what is considered a Result per objective, please click here. To view preset metrics by objective, click on the objective in the “Metrics: Summary” drop-down. 

You can also view a number of other metrics for your campaign by clicking on “Customize metrics.”

• There you will be able to select or unselect any metric you wish.
• It’s also possible to save your selection of metrics as a Custom report. Save your preset by entering in a name for the selections, and clicking “save.”
• Custom reports allow you to go back to that metric set anytime, for fast campaign analysis.

Campaign structure

We’ve added new levels to our campaign structure to give you more control.

Campaign: A campaign corresponds to a single advertising objective, like Tweet engagements. Think of your campaign as a bag of money and the dates correspond to when you want to spend that money.

Make quick edits to:

• Campaign name
• Campaign end date
• Campaign daily budget
• Campaign total budget

Note: bids are found at the ad group level. To view and make edits to bids, toggle to the ad groups tab.

Ad groups: Ad groups are how you want to spend your money. Here, you can set budget, targeting and placement for each of your campaigns. One campaign can have many ad groups and an ad group can contain one or more Tweets.

Make quick edits to:

• Ad group name
• Ad group end date
• Bid type
• Bid amount

Reminder: bids are found at the ad group level. To view bid data, always toggle to the ad groups tab. For more on ad groups find our Help Center article here. 

Ads: Tweets are found at the Ads level. You can have multiple promoted Tweets ('Ads') in a single ad group. The system will auto optimize to the best performing creative within an ad group.

You can view performance for each ad, filtered by creative type:

• Tweets: Promoted Tweets (including promoted video)
  
• Display creatives: Creative used on the Twitter Audience Platform
• In-stream videos: Video used in Amplify pre-roll

#Protip: Hover over the creative to preview. You can also play and pause creatives at the ads level by clicking on the running/pause button.

Custom metrics model

Our custom metrics model allows you to do all of the following in Ads Manager:

1. Search metrics by name
2. Use the categories to navigate through available metrics
3. Add and remove metrics
4. Change the order of the columns by dragging and dropping #Protip: top to bottom in the model corresponds to left to right columns in the dashboard
5. Save the metric set you’ve customized

Once you have saved a metric set it will become available in the metrics dropdown with your other presets.

You can share a view by clicking the “share” button to the right of “export”. This allows anyone with access to the account to see the view you’ve created.

Campaign sorting and metric definitions

• Hover over the (?) icon to see a definition of each metric
• These tips are also available if you hover over a metric in the metrics customization model
  • Note: sorting is maxed at 2500 rows

You're able to customize charts to visualize your key KPIs.

At the campaign, ad group & ads levels, click on the drop down at the top of the chart to select the metric you want to visualize. You can customize the list of metrics you see by adding them through the custom metrics model.

Data Exports

You can report on campaign lifetime instead of hourly or daily breakouts for faster analysis:

1. Use custom filters and metrics to create your dashboard view

2. Click ‘export’ and navigate to ‘export data’

Controlling spend at the campaign and ad group levels:

Think of your campaign as the main source of power to deliver ads. If your campaign is off, your ad groups won’t be able to run (even if the ad groups are technically on).

If your campaign is on, your ad groups are able to run.
