Understanding Ad Metric Selectors

You can use Demandase Advertising metrics in selectors to create lists, filters, reports, and other assets throughout Demandbase. Advertising metric selectors help you identify and report on accounts, people, opportunities, and activities associated with your Demandbase Advertising campaigns.

Important: Advertising metric selectors are available only for campaigns created and run in Demandbase Advertising.

Use Cases for Advertising Metric Selectors

Advanced Selector Logic Requirements for Advertising Metrics

When you use Advertising metrics in Advanced Selectors, the following logic requirements apply:

  • You can use only non-complex logic with the AND combiner.

    Valid Syntax Invalid Syntax
    1 AND 2 AND 3

    1 AND 2 OR 3

    1 AND (2 OR 3)

    1 OR 2 OR 3

  • The OR combiner isn't supported directly with Advertising metric selectors.

    To create equivalent OR logic, use the Member of List selector to reference lists that contain your Advertising metric selector criteria. This allows you choose pre-configured lists and apply any logic syntax.

    For example:

  1. Create a list named Ad Impressions A using the desired Advertising metric selector criteria.
  2. Create a second list named Ad Impressions B using different Advertising metric selector criteria.
  3. Create another list using the following logic: Member of List: Ad Impressions A OR Member of List: Ad Impressions B.

  • Each Advertising metric selector logic expression must be placed in a separate component.Ad Metrics.png
