Updated over a week ago

Follow these steps to build a chart manually:

Step 1: Start a New Chart

  1. Click Add section > Chart.

  2. In the New Chart window, select Data set.

    1. Options: Channel Attribution, Ads Attribution, Creative Attribution, Order Sales, Lift Test Results.

Step 2: Choose Metrics

  1. Click Metrics > +.

  2. Select one or multiple metrics (e.g., Orders, Sales, ROAS, Page views).

Step 3: Add Dimensions

  1. Click Dimension > +.

  2. Choose attributes such as Channel, Attribution model, Ad ID, Ad name.

Step 4: Apply Filters

  1. Click Filters > +.

  2. Select a metric or attribute.

  3. Choose rules:

    1. Threshold-based (greater than, less than, equals, etc.).

    2. Trend-based (increase/decrease by X%).

    3. Attribute-based (contains/does not contain, date ranges, status).

4. Combine conditions using AND/OR logic within filter group or between filter group.

5. Save filter groups for reusability.

6. Use Presets for quick rules:

  1. Scaling: Ad spend ↑ 10%+

  2. Declining: Ad spend ↓ 10%+

  3. Fatigue: CTR ↓ 10%+

  4. Winning: Ad spend > 500 + ROAS > 3

Tip: you can customize the preset by editing an existing preset that suits your needs.

Step 5: Select Visualization Type

Choose how to display your chart:

  • Numeric display: 1 metric only.

  • Line chart: Up to 2 metrics, 1 dimension.

  • Bar chart: Up to 2 metrics, 1 dimension.

  • Pie chart: 1 metric, 1 dimension.

  • Table chart: Unlimited metrics and dimensions.

Step 6: Adjust Date Settings

  • If the dashboard is at Chart-level filter, pick dates here.

  • If at Dashboard-level filter, date settings are inherited from the main dashboard.

Step 7: Preview & Save

  • The chart preview updates live as you configure.

Note: If the setup is incomplete / missing required variable (Data Set / Metrics / Dimension), you will see "Your chart preview will show up here"

  • If no data is found, an alert will show: “We couldn’t find any data for your query.”

  • Once satisfied, click Save.

Example: Combined Filters

  • Create rules like:

    • Ad spend 10% compared to previous period OR ROAS 10%.

    • ROAS > 8 AND Sales > 1,000.

  • Apply them to narrow down results for performance tracking.
