The Reports section of the platform allows you to view performance data over time across all your campaigns or individual reporting groups. This is the perfect place to explore and evaluate the overall performance of your influencer marketing efforts on a high level based on custom date ranges of your choice.
The Reports section contains three tabs: Overview (Beta), Program Performance (which includes Program Details), and Acquisition.
Overview (Beta)
In the Overview tab of the Reports section, you can use the dropdowns at the top of the page to filter campaign data for a specific date range for all, one, or a specific subset of your campaigns:
On this tab, data is attributed to the day that the performance metrics were received, not the day that the post went live.
The entire contents of the Overview tab can be downloaded in various file formats, including CSV and PDF, For more details, see Export Options.
The data in every section of the Overview tab will dynamically update based on the campaigns & date range you select at the top of the page.

Understanding Date Range Filters
Both the Overview tab and Performance tab (and its subsection, Program Details) can be filtered by specific date ranges, though the date range logic varies between them.
Overview
The values displayed in the Overview tab are always filtered by the date range at the top of the page and for the selected campaigns. In addition, the data is always attributed to the day that the performance metrics were received—not the day that the post went live. This is the same filtering method used in the Program Details section of the Performance tab.
Performance & Program Details
While the values displayed in the Program Performance and Program Details sections in the Performance tab may appear to be inconsistent due to the differing timeframe settings, the data contained in both reports is synchronized from the same source:
- The Program Performance section displays the overall totals of each campaign that was Live at any point in the specified date range
- The Program Details sections displays metrics organized by the date they were recorded (that is, when a post was published or when a link was clicked)
- This is the same filtering method used on the Overview tab
