👉 Managing indicators of the Goals step

📖 Definition

Indicators are metrics that are available in your campaigns (either native metrics or self-configured) and that have not been selected as primary or secondary goals.

When you drag and drop an indicator in the primary or secondary goal area, it is selected for your campaign, meaning that the corresponding data will be displayed in your campaign reporting and becomes a goal.

The more transaction tags, Action tracking, Page tracking or Custom tracking you implement, the longer the list of indicators will be. 

You will then have the option to hide or delete (depending on the type of indicator) out-of-date indicators in order to clear and lighten the indicator list.

This makes it easier and more convenient to find the indicators you want to set as primary or secondary goal(s) for your campaign; thereby getting rid of obsolete ones.

⭐ Good to know

Before deleting or hiding indicators, and if you have made any modifications during the step (such as adding or removing a goal), click Save step to make sure the goals are up to date.

⚙️ Configuration

Hiding transaction and Action tracking indicators

You have the option to hide (but not delete) transaction and Action tracking indicators from the indicator list in the Goal step.

Transaction indicators coincide with the name you assigned to your transaction tag (transaction affiliation). They are available in the Transaction section. 

Action tracking indicators that appear in the list are those you have setup in one of your campaigns. They are available in the Action tracking section.

To hide transaction or Action tracking indicators from the Transaction or Action tracking list, apply the following steps:

1. Click Hide transaction indicators or Hide Action tracking indicators.
2. From the popin, hover over the indicator you want to hide from the list and click the eye icon.
3. Repeat this action for the other indicators you want to hide.

Click the Hide x indicators button to confirm.

⭐ Good to know

The hidden indicators will be hidden from the list for all campaigns but not deleted permanently.

 

Retrieving hidden transaction indicators

You can retrieve the list of all Transaction or Action tracking indicators you have hidden in your account settings:

• via Account management > Transaction indicators management 
• OR by clicking the Manage all action tracking indicators (for Action tracking) or Manage all transaction indicators (for transactions) button.

The Settings page contains two tabs: one for the hidden Action tracking indicators and one for the hidden transaction indicators.

To reactivate an indicator, hover over it and click Activate. The indicator will disappear from this page and, after refreshing the page you’ll be able to see it in the indicators list in the Goal step and use it again as a primary or secondary goal for your campaigns.

Deleting Page tracking and Custom tracking indicators

You have the option to permanently delete Page and Custom tracking indicators from the indicator list in the Goal step.

Page tracking and Custom tracking indicators that appear in the list of indicators coincide with those set up in one of your campaigns. Page tracking indicators are available in the Page tracking section and Custom tracking indicators in the Custom tracking section.

To delete Page or Custom tracking indicators from the Page tracking or Custom tracking list, apply the following steps:

1. Click Manage Page trackings or Manage Page trackings.
2. From the popin, hover over the indicator you want to delete from the list and click the trash icon.
3. Repeat this action for the other indicators you want to delete.

Click the Delete x indicators button to confirm.

🚩 Heads up

You can’t hide or delete an indicator that is used in one or several other campaigns, whether they are live or paused. These are thus disabled. 

⭐ Good to know

Deletion is an irreversible action, meaning that you won’t be able to retrieve the indicators you delete.
