Written by Scott Frazier

Navigating to the GAM View

After logging into your Ad Reform account, you'll land on the Recent Campaigns page. At the top of the screen, click GAM in the black navigation bar to be redirected to the "GAM View" of your account. This page is called the Orders Table. Here, you can look at an overview of your order names, advertisers, and how many line items, creatives, and screenshots are associated with each order. You'll also see the start and end dates for each order, and can search easily to find a specific order by just typing in a few characters.


Downloading your screenshots + Creating presentations

Follow these steps to download your screenshots locally or create a presentation:

  1. Search for your order by name using the Search field in the upper-right of the Orders Table page

  2. Under the Screenshots column click the 🔍 icon next to the number of screenshots

  3. Click Select All to select every screenshot for that order, or click next to the screenshot thumbnail to select screenshots individually

  4. Click either Download or Create Presentation

  3. Search field to find tactics by name

  4. Descriptions of each tactic

  5. Date of the most recent update to the tactic

  1. Description of the tactic at the top

  2. Status of the tactic and a filter by status drop-down
