Google Campaign Manager 360: Tips and best practices#
Configuring the dimension filter with a JSON expression#
When configuring a Google Campaign Manager 360 datastream, you can configure a dimension filter for most datastream types. Enter a JSON expression into the dimension filter to collect data on certain fields. Use the dimension filter to collect highly-specific data from your data source.
To configure data collection from a datastream, follow these steps:
Go to the Datastreams page.
Open the Google Campaign Manager 360 datastream by clicking on its name.
In the top navigation panel, click Settings.
In Dimension Filter, enter a valid JSON expression.
Click Save.
Examples of a JSON expression#
Typically, a JSON expression would take the following format.
{
"kind": "dfareporting#dimensionValue",
"dimensionName": string,
"value": string,
"id": string,
"matchType": string
}
You can use multiple expressions within a single JSON expression.
For example, use a JSON expression to retrieve data from a Google Campaign Manager 360 datastream.
The values to retrieve are as follows:
Two specific values (8069163 and 8067471) for the dimension
activityId
.These two vales are associated with another specific value (Adverity), which belongs to the dimension
site
.
To retrieve this set of data, enter the following JSON expression into Dimension Filter.
[
{
"dimensionName": "activityId",
"kind": "dfareporting#dimensionFilter",
"value": "8069163"
},
{
"dimensionName": "activityId",
"kind": "dfareporting#dimensionFilter",
"value": "8067471"
},
{
"dimensionName": "site",
"kind": "dfareporting#dimensionFilter",
"id": "5147781",
"value": "Adverity"
}
