Report types

Six report types — Segments, Campaigns, Months, Ad accounts, Videos, Creatives. Each one rolls up the same numbers along a different axis.

Every report in Level is one of six types, picked at creation and locked thereafter. The type determines what each row in the report represents — the columns (your metrics) are the same regardless.

When to use which

TypeRows arePlanBest for
SegmentsEach segment you tagged campaigns withPro and aboveStakeholder rollups by purpose — what did Acquisition do?
CampaignsEach individual campaignAll plansOperator drilldowns — which campaigns blew out CPA last week?
MonthsEach calendar monthAll plansLong-run trend views — is ROAS climbing over the year?
Ad accountsEach ad-account group you defined inside the reportAll plansChannel rollups — paid social vs paid search vs PMax
VideosEach individual videoBusiness and aboveCreative reviews — which videos hold attention?
CreativesEach individual adBusiness and aboveCreative testing — which ad formats and variants win?

Types your plan doesn't include don't show up in the type selector at all — see Plans & limits.

Picking type at creation

Pick the type when you create the report. The drawer adapts:

  • Segments → asks for ad accounts plus which segments to include.
  • Campaigns → asks for which ad accounts; rows are auto-derived from the campaigns that exist on those ad accounts.
  • Months → asks for which ad accounts; rows are auto-derived from the calendar months with data.
  • Ad accounts → asks you to define groups (a name + an ad-account set per group); rows are those groups in the order you set.
  • Videos → asks for which ad accounts; rows are the individual videos found in their creative data.
  • Creatives → asks for which ad accounts; rows are the individual ads found in their creative data.

Videos and Creatives reports need creative data sync — the Creatives pipeline on each ad account, a Business feature. See Ad accounts.

You cannot change the type after creation. To switch — say, you built a Segments report and want a Campaigns view of the same data — create a new report with the same ad accounts and metrics but a different type.

Same numbers, different axis

The cell values are computed the same way regardless of report type. The only thing that changes is how rows are sliced:

  • Cost in a Segments report row = sum of cost across all campaigns tagged with that segment, across all the report's ad accounts, in the date range.
  • Cost in a Campaigns report row = cost for that single campaign, in the date range.
  • Cost in a Months row = cost across all the report's ad accounts for that month.
  • Cost in an Ad accounts row = cost for the ad accounts in that group, in the date range.
  • Cost in a Videos or Creatives row = cost attributed to that single video or ad, in the date range.

They're slicing the same underlying data — pick the axis your audience thinks in.
