The Home screen dashboard provides an overview of information about your Impact account. Dashboard widgets show a summary of your account performance and other metrics.
Some widgets only appear if you're a direct partner (i.e., you signed up directly with a brand) or if you're a marketplace partner (i.e., you've joined the Impact Marketplace and work with multiple brands).
The snapshot widget shows your account performance over a customizable date range.
Select the date range in the top right corner of the widget to change the date range of the displayed data.
Select one of the metrics (Clicks, Actions, Payouts, Sale Amount, Conversion Rate, EPC) to see that performance metric appear in the line graph.
Hover over any dot in the line graph to see the total recorded amount of the selected metric for that day.
Select Snapshot in the top left corner of the widget to view the full Overview report.
The create a link widget is a quick way to create new short links and vanity links to promote the brand(s) you work with. These links have tracking capabilities built right in.
Select the brand you wish to promote from the dropdown.
Enter a landing page, or leave this field blank to use the brand's default landing page.
For example, if you're trying to create a short link to a brand's particular product or service, you can put the URL to that page here.
In the link section, choose:
http(s)://—the link will attempt to use the secure version of HTTP if possible but will use regular HTTP as a fallback
http://—the link will only use regular HTTP.
https://—the link will only use the secure version of HTTP.
If you wish to customize the short link (known as vanity links), you can select [Edit] and change the text after the slash (/) in the link.
For example, you change the link to
acme.sjv.io/NewBirdSeedto indicate that this link sends viewers to the brand Acme's new bird seed product.
Select Advanced to view the advanced options to add Sub ID and Shared ID values. See the SubID and SharedID article for details on these advanced features.
