Principles
- The filter panel design is common to all PBA dashboards.
- The filters available per dashboard differ as indicated in the table that follows.
- Filters with context: Some filters, as indicated in the table, require that they be associated with a context. For example, in the Web-Assisted Installs dashboard, the geo filter requires a context of either the web media source or the mobile media source. You can set a geo filter for each by setting two geo filters; one for each context.

Grouping options
Group by options are available on the Web-Assisted Installs and Website Attribution dashboards.
Dashboard data is grouped by, for example, media source, device, or country. When a group is selected, a data column is added to the results table. The order in which groups are chosen affects how the data is shown.
- Default group: Media source/Campaign
- In the drop-down, select 1 or more of the options.
Example
Scenario: The same targeting campaign is run in both Net_A and Net_B.
Goal: Look at which media source is more successful.
How? Group by media source, then look at a campaign that is directed towards the same target audience.

Additional information
Traits and limitations
- Daily processing includes events received during the previous day.
- Data finalization:
- In the case of Web-Assisted Installs, Website Attribution PBA identifies additional related events during the first 7 days after the conversion. This can change the media source identified as being ultimately responsible for driving the conversion.
- In the related raw-data reports, the final_data field is false during the initial 7-day period.
PBA dashboards don't support local currency and data will be shown in USD.
