Choose attribution settings for your app
Your attribution settings define how you consider different user engagements for attribution. These settings are applicable to all links for your app.
Before you begin
Here's what you need to know before getting started.
Requirements
- Admin, Editor, or Custom Editor permissions
What you need to know
Attribution settings
To set up or change the attribition settings for an app:
- Under AppView, select All apps.
- Select your app.
- Select the Attribution settings tab.
- Select Edit to modify attribution settings for clicks or impressions for new users.
- Once you have made your changes, select Save.
Temporary attribution and reattribution
You can set up temporary attribution and reattribution for click-based and impression-based installs and reattributions to measure time-sensitive campaigns.
For installs
For reattributions
For reattributions, you have to choose one fallback source for events that occur outside of the reattribution window. This fallback source applies to both click-based and impression-based reattribution. You have two fallback choices:
- Last eligible source: the last attribution source that meets all specified criteria
- Organic
Reattribution settings
Adjust can reattribute inactive users who return to your app through a retargeting campaign. When you turn on reattribution, you need to choose an inactivity period (how long the user must be away from your app) and a reattribution window (how long a click or impression is eligible for reattribution). Find out more about reattribution.
- Select Edit to modify reattribution settings for clicks or impressions for existing users.
- Once you have made your changes, select Save.
IMEI attribution
Mobile devices come with an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and a Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID). You can use an Android device's IMEI and MEID for attribution from devices in China only. If you are unsure about the privacy standards for your area, do not turn on this feature.
Requirements
- To turn on IMEI and MEID attribution for your account, reach out to your Technical Account Manager or contact support@adjust.com.
- IMEI and MEID attribution requires Adjust Android SDK 4.16.0 and later, and the IMEI plugin.
- Only users with Admin permissions can review and accept IMEI and MEID terms and conditions.
- Once your Admin user has accepted the terms and condtions, users with Editor permissions can turn on or turn off IMEI attribution.
To turn on IMEI and MEID attribution:
- If you have never turned on IMEI attribution for your app, under the IMEI attribution section, review and accept the IMEI and MEID terms and conditions.
- Turn on the Enable device matching toggle.
- Select Save.
Connected TV attribution
- Select Edit to modify attribution settings for impressions when a user views your ad.
