(1) Rapid Time To Value - Gain insights from your Campaign Manager data in minutes, not weeks. The Campaign Manager Block includes pre-built dashboards and content focusing on the ad management system for advertisers and agencies, with analysis around campaign performance, reach and impressions.
(2) Centralized Place for Analysis - No Campaign Manager access required to do self-service reporting. Plus, you can combine your Campaign Manager data with other data in your warehouse (e.g. Bitbucket or Github commits) for end-to-end analysis.
(3) Enterprise Data Platform - Your marketing team can easily build their own dashboards, and any user is equipped to ask and answer their own questions, save and share their own reports. Additionally, you can take advantage of Looker’s advanced scheduling functionality to get Alerts whenever workflows are disrupted. Using our Data Health Check dashboard within the block you can monitor redacted User IDs within Campaign Manager.
(4) Take Action on Your Data Quickly - Analysts can jump into the Campaign Manager dashboards and clearly see performance trends by toggling between different performance KPIs and viewing attribute breakdowns. From the dashboard, directly link to the specific campaign in the Campaign Manager console.
Campaign Manager data is exported through Transfer Services in the format of three flat tables (a single file for impressions, clicks, and activities). All Data Transfer Files are stored as comma separated values (CSV).
Filenames are a combination of dcm ID (like account, or floodlight), data transfer type (impression, click, activity, or rich_media), the date and hour of the processed file (YYYYMMDDHH), the day the report was generated (YYYYMMDD), the time the report was generated (HHMMSS), and the execution ID of the report separated by underscores. A more detailed description of the Data Transfer customisation and fields can be found here.
It is strongly recommended that you load all match tables into your warehouse to allow your business users to gain a deeper understanding into the naming conventions of your campaigns, activities, ads, advertisers, assets, and browsers. More information on all Data Transfer match tables can also be found here.

dashboard there are three breakdown tiles that are configurable. It is recommended to import this dashboard and edit these tiles to create custom classifications based on placement name or campaign tactic. Once configured, you can drill into these metrics to get an additional level of granularity into underlying factors.
