What Data is Being Reported

The data is gathered from all of the campaigns your partners have utilized across all of the marketing they do in Zift123. The report only records those activities that have generated measurable results. When measurable results are not generated as is often the case with social media, the partner name will appear on the report with a value of 0 in the fields. Social activity is considered only when posts are sent.

The report shows the cumulative number of activities plus the cumulative statistics of those activities versus the specific campaigns used and how a specific campaign performed. To see the details of the specific campaigns used, you will need to go into the appropriate reports, e.g. Email Summary, Website Plug-in Summary, Social Summary, etc.
