Additional Information
- The Data Preview is limited to display a maximum of 20 Dimensions per Date Range for Dimensional Metrics. Dimensions will be sorted by descending value, therefore the 20 Dimensions with the highest total values will be displayed in the Data Preview for each Date Range.
- Due to API limitations, Quarterly, Yearly and All time granularities are not supported for non-aggregatable metrics such as "Average Video Play Time", "CPS" and "CTR by Ad Group" etc. This may affect visualization options for Charts in Databox. For more information related to a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team via chat or at help@databox.com.
