Overview
Overview is your unified attribution view across all channels — installs, revenue, cost, and campaign performance as measured by AdShift.
Overview is your unified attribution dashboard. Every install, re-engagement, and revenue event measured by AdShift across all your channels appears here in one place. Data comes from the AdShift SDK and reflects MMP attribution — not what each ad network reports about itself. For network-reported performance numbers, see SRN Insights: Network Self-Reports.
Go to Analyze → Overview to open the dashboard.
Summary stats
The cards at the top of the page give you a snapshot of the selected period.
| Metric | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Total Installs | All installs attributed by AdShift in the period |
| Non-organic Installs | Installs attributed to a paid media source |
| Organic Installs | Installs with no paid attribution touchpoint |
| Retargeting | Re-engagements of existing users attributed to a campaign |
| Revenue | Total revenue — IAP, ad revenue, and subscriptions combined |
| Cost | Ad spend pulled from connected network accounts |
| Blended ROAS | Revenue ÷ Cost |
Revenue breakdown
Below the summary cards, the revenue breakdown splits total revenue into its components:
- IAP revenue — in-app purchases recorded by the SDK
- Ad revenue — ad monetisation revenue
- Subscription revenue — subscription purchases
Use the Revenue source toggle to filter by the provider reporting revenue: SDK (AdShift), RevenueCat, or Adapty.
Performance chart
The chart shows a time series for any metric, broken down by any dimension.
Metric — choose what to plot on the y-axis. Examples include installs, clicks, cost, revenue, ROAS, conversion rate, eCPI, ARPU, impressions, sessions, and event-level metrics (event count, event revenue, eCPA).
Group by — choose how to split the series:
| Option | Groups by |
|---|---|
| Source | Media source / partner |
| App | Application |
| Campaign | Campaign name |
| Geo | Country |
| Channel | Traffic channel |
| Attribution type | Install / re-attribution / re-engagement |
| Event name | In-app event |
Metrics table
The table below the chart lists performance per row — by media source and campaign by default. Columns include:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Media source | Ad network or organic |
| Campaign | Campaign name |
| Installs | Total attributed installs |
| Re-attributions | Lapsed users re-attributed to a paid source |
| Re-engagements | Returning users re-engaged by a campaign |
| Clicks | Attributed clicks |
| CR | Conversion rate (Installs ÷ Clicks) |
| Cost | Ad spend |
| Revenue | Total revenue |
| ROI | Return on investment |
| eCPI | Effective cost per install |
| ARPU | Average revenue per user |
| Sessions | App sessions in the period |
Filters
Narrow the data using the filters in the top bar.
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Date range | The period to analyse. Defaults to the last 7 days. |
| App | One or more apps registered in your project. |
| Media source | Filter to a specific ad network or partner. |
| Campaign | Filter to a specific campaign. |
| Geo | Filter to a specific country. |
| View type | Unified (all installs), User Acquisition (new users only), or Retargeting (re-engagement only). |
| Attribution mode | See below. |
Attribution mode
Deterministic (default) — shows only installs attributed using a device identifier. This is the most precise view: each install is matched to a specific touchpoint.
Single Source of Truth — adds aggregated SKAdNetwork (SKAN) postbacks on top of deterministic attribution. SKAN covers iOS users who did not consent to tracking (ATT opt-out), where a device-level match is not possible. Single Source of Truth gives a more complete picture of iOS campaign reach, but without user-level granularity for the SKAN portion.
Use Single Source of Truth when you want to account for the full volume of iOS installs from Apple Search Ads or other iOS campaigns, and you are comfortable with aggregate-level data for the privacy-constrained portion.
For a dedicated view of SKAN postback data on its own, see SKAN: Overview.
