• PBA reports are written Daily to the Data Locker in h=23 folder for events occurring on a given day.
• Data can't be written retroactively.

To enable PBA reports an account admin must set up Data Locker:

1. Go to Integration > Data Locker.
2. Select all the reports in the People-Based Attribution section. 
3. Click Save configuration.

To download reports, see accessing Data Locker reports.

Data Locker PBA raw data reports are made available in the h=23 folder. 

Example: t=website_events/dt=2020-11-26/h=23

The data reflects the users most likely to engage with both your mobile app and website.

Combine mobile app and website data.

Solution: 

• Combine reports using customer user ID (CUID)
  
  • Use the same CUID for both mobile and web and combine reports using CUID as the key. 
  • Then, combine reports using the CUID field
• PBA cross-platform user identification:
  • PBA can determine that a web and a mobile user are the same person.
  • If so, then web reports with PBA include a mobile advertising ID: Android advertising ID, iOS IDFA, OAID, or Amazon advertising ID.
  • Then, combine mobile and web reports based on mobile advertising ID.

Use cases for PBA and mobile
