Dimensions, Metrics, and Filters

Dimensions

Dimensions, along with metrics and filters, determine what data will be displayed in the report. Dimensions help you break down your data by specific attributes, such as the device or platform on which the ad was viewed.

The order of the dimensions in the report depends on the order in which they were added.image-1681290045840.png

                            Filters can help you understand your data and find trends.

You can add multiple filters to further drill down to the information that you really need.
