What does the “Run Test Report” icon do?

Click Run Test Report to automatically run a report in Singular’s report query page for the selected data connector. This allows you to check what data Singular is pulling from this data connector.

The parameters for the test report are:

  • The report covers yesterday only.
  • The dimensions and metrics are all ad network data (rather than attribution tracker data).
What is the Raw Data CSV?

The raw data CSV is a copy of the last data import Singular pulled from this data connector for the date you see in the "Latest Date Queried" field. Usually, this means the data for yesterday.

You can download the raw data CSV by hovering over a data connector and clicking the Raw Data CSV icon.

The data in this CSV-formatted file is "raw" in that it has not undergone currency conversions or any of Singular’s other data processing steps. However, the dimension names are mapped to Singular dimension names.

You can use the Raw Data CSV to troubleshoot some issues with your data. For example, if you see missing or unexpected data in your Singular reports for a certain ad network, the Raw Data CSV can show you if the problem already existed when the data was pulled from the ad network.

Can I do a manual data refresh?

Yes. In special circumstances, you can request a Data Refresh for some of your data connectors. See How to Refresh Data for a Data Connector.

What is the Data Availability icon?

The Data Availability icon opens a panel that contains a detailed view of updates for your data connector. It shows all daily updates as well as periodic (7d, 30d) updates and manual data refreshes initiated by your team or requests made via support tickets.
