Raw data export page features and filter options

The raw data export page provides reports having the features listed in the following table. 

Feature Remarks
Report categories  Differ according to your subscription plan
Date range Raw data reports are filtered by activity dates (event occurrence). You can also add a filter for install dates. See list of filter options in the table that follows.
Maximum number of rows 1M rows
Rate limitation

A quota mechanism limits the number of reports that can be generated per day.

Retention/report window

Install-related reports (installs, install postbacks) 60 out of the previous 90 days in a single download. 

In-app event-related reports: 31 out of the previous 90 days in a single download.

Filter options

The filters listed are available for use. In some cases, depending on the filter, filter options are populated. For example, when filtering by Geo the list of available countries is listed.

Field selection

The most important fields are pre-selected. You can add/clear select fields in the Report fields tab. Some fields may not have relevance to a given report. Nevertheless, you can select the field. We do this so that you can have consistent report formats (columns) 

For example, selecting fraud (Protect360) related fields in the user acquisition in-app events report returns blank columns. These fields are populated only in the context of explicit Protect360 reports. 

Report (CSV) field order

Columns in reports are arranged according to the field order setting. The column sequence listed in a spreadsheet contains separate tabs for the legacy and default options. 

Setting Field selection allowed Remarks
Default Yes
  • Selected fields are ordered according to an AppsFlyer template.
  • Going forward, the sequence will be preserved. Future fields will be appended to the right of the existing fields.
Alphabetical (A-Z) Yes Selected fields are ordered alphabetically (ascending).
Alphabetical (Z-A) Yes Selected fields are ordered in reverse order alphabetically (descending).
Legacy No
  • Fields are ordered according to the sequence of columns in reports prepared using the previous version of the export data page.
  • Field selection is fixed and can't be changed.
  • There is some variation of the reports per field depending on the actual report
