Dashboard Overview

General

Flight Control's dashboards provide visibility into account and campaign delivery trends and insights. You can also create dashboards that best suit your data needs.

Dashboards are located in two places within Flight Control:

  • The Dashboard page: This contains data that applies to your account and all its campaigns. Access by clicking Dashboard within the navigation panel.
  • The Dashboard View: These dashboards focus on a specific campaign. Access from within a campaign's Insights step.

User Permissions

  • The Analytics user permission is required to create and edit dashboards.

Accessing the Dashboard

To see account dashboards:

  1. Click Dashboard in the navigation panel.
    • The account's "main dashboard" will display first, whether it's a standard predefined dashboard for your account or a custom dashboard set as the main dashboard.

To see campaign-specific dashboards:

  1. Go to a campaign's Insights step.
  2. Click the meter icon (Meter.png) in the campaign's Header to open the Dashboard View pane.
    • This displays the campaign’s "main dashboard" first, which can be a standard predefined dashboard for your campaign or a custom dashboard set as its main dashboard.

Navigating Dashboards

Dashboards consist of the following:

  • Filtering: This area allows you to filter dashboard data for a selected date range, time zone, and data from campaign ad engagement and first-party account data sources.
    • Note: Your account's default time zone can be changed within Account > Settings > Account Profile.
  • Dashboard Selector: This dropdown menu contains all dashboards for your account or campaign. Use the selector to switch between predefined and user-created account dashboards.
