Search Box

The Cometly ads manager search box is very powerful if you have an organized naming structure for your ads.


Filter by 'delivery' status

Inside Cometly you can filter to view ads that are Active, Inactive or All.

By default, the delivery status is set to only show "Active" ads.


Filter by 'selection'

By clicking the checkbox on specifics ads and then clicking the "Filter" button, you can filter to view only the selected ads.

This is helpful when you want to "Sum" a few specific ads together using the "totals" row at the bottom.


Daily breakdown

The daily breakdown is a powerful feature inside the Cometly ads manager that allows you to view a day by day breakdown of any ad. This allows you to analyze the performance of an ad on a daily basis to see if it's trending in the right or wrong direction.

We recommend you change the date range to less than 30 days before using this feature.


'Tracking status' preset

Use the 'Tracking Status' preset and then navigate to the ad tab in your Cometly ads manager to check that your URL parameters are configured correctly.

Important Info:

If your URL parameters are NOT set up correctly, Cometly will notify you via a red dot on your campaign name. The "Tracking Status" column will also say "Error."


Switch between ad accounts

You can easily switch between all of your ad accounts by clicking the drop down in the top left.


View all ad accounts

You can view all of your ad accounts at once inside a single data table by clicking "All Ad Accounts" at the bottom of the ad account switcher.


Export Data

Right click anywhere on the ads manager data table to export the data.
