With Data Explorer, you can get quick, insightful reports on account performance. Customize, filter, and download reports for informed decision-making.
Note: Larger data sets in Data Explorer may not reflect real-time data. In these cases, data will be current as of 6 a.m. ET. Because of this, metrics in Data Explorer may not be consistent with the data found in the Manage tables, which update in real-time.

Pull up the data set you would like to save.
Click Save Preset (disk icon) to the left of the date.
Enter a title and complete the rest of the form. Note: When you save a data set, you'll also set permissions for who can access it (only you, everyone at your company, or specific users).
Click Save.
Loading a data set
Expedite your work in Data Explorer by loading a previously saved data set or a data set that has been shared with you. You can also use an example from the Fluency library. To load a data set:
Click the cloud icon in the Customize Data drawer on the right.
Select a data set (Your Data Sets, Shared With You, or Fluency).
Click Load.
Generating a data set link
If you prefer using your own reporting tools, such as Excel, Tableau, or Power BI, to analyze data, you can generate a link from Data Explorer and directly connect it to your chosen tool.
Important: Ensure you set up a signed key before generating your first link. This is done through Settings & Tools > Customer Info > Secure Customer Key. This key will be used in your link to access the shared data set.
Load an existing data set.
Click Connect Data in the Data Explorer top menu and select Generate Data Connect URL. If the link is grayed out, you need to set up a secure customer key as noted above. Remember to click Save to finish.
(Optional) Select an expiration date for your data set link.
Click Generate.
Under Format URL As, select a link format (JSON Download, JSON Response, CSV Download, CSV Response).
Click Done.
(Optional) Click See All URLs to see a list of all existing data set links.
Filtering data for specific metrics
By filtering the entries in each column, you can drill down into your data for more insights. To filter a column, click on the filter icon next to the heading of a column. Select a Rule, enter a Value, and click Apply.
