Dashboard elements
Time zone and date range
Define the reporting window for the metrics and dimensions that surface in your dashboard.
Summary information
Compare whether key metrics are performing better (% increase) or worse (% decrease) than they were during the previous reporting window.
The comparison is based on the same timeframe as the one you selected. For example, when you select 3 Months as the dashboard’s date range, the summary compares performance over the most recent three months to performance over the prior three months.
Metric comparison panel
Use the comparison panel to review data related to two metrics, and determine top performers by grouping by a particular dimension and metric. For example, you might group by the Creative dimension and Clicks metric to uncover which five creatives drove the most clicks during the date range that you selected.
Refer to Compare metrics and group by a metric for more information.

Key terms and concepts
Set, Add, Split
Set, Add, and Split are three options that you’ll encounter when you edit a campaign’s total budget from a dashboard. Refer to Manage a campaign from a dashboard for more information on how to apply these changes to your campaigns.
Set
The New Total Budget value that you enter is the exact value that’s used for the campaign’s total budget.
Example: A campaign’s current total budget is $200,000. You enter $250,000 in the New Total Budget field and select = Set. The campaign’s new total budget is $250,000.
Add
The value you enter in the New Total Budget field is the amount that gets added to the campaign’s existing total budget.
Example: A campaign’s current total budget is $200,000. You enter $50,000 in the New Total Budget field and select + Add. The campaign’s new total budget is $250,000.
Split
The value you enter in the New Total Budget field is the amount that gets divided evenly across each of the campaigns you selected. Note that you must select more than one campaign for the Split open to appear.
Example: A campaign’s current total budget is $200,000. You select four campaigns, enter $250,000 in the New Total Budget field, and click ÷ Split. Each of the four campaigns’ total budgets are $62,5000, which total $250,000 when combined.
