Scope and filter a change history report

If you're scoped to an advertiser, the change history report lists all tracked changes that occurred in the advertiser and its entities during a specified date range. The report lists when a bid strategy was applied to keywords or campaigns, if a mobile bid adjustment was changed from 10% to 15%, and whether campaigns were added or removed from an account.

By default, the change history report lists changes made to all items within a specified scope and date range.

To reduce the amount of information shown, you can scope and filter the report to a specific account, campaign, ad group, or bid strategy.

1. Navigate to an advertiser, account, campaign, ad group, bid strategy, or label to scope the report.

   

2. Select a time range on or after May 21, 2016 in the upper right corner.

3. In the left navigation panel, click Change history.

   Changes that were made at the selected scope and lower are displayed.

   If you selected a bid strategy or a label, the list is filtered for the bid strategy ID or label ID.

4. Click Filter in the toolbar above the reporting table.
5. Click Attribute ▼, and then click the attribute that you want. For example, click Campaign.

6. In the next list, select a criteria such as Equals or Does not equal.

   Different criteria is available for different attributes. For example, if the attribute is System, Change type, or Entity changed, the default criteria is Is one of.

7. In the last list, do one of the following to specify the values:

   • Enter the value or values, separated by a vertical bar (|).

   • If the attribute is System, Change type, or Entity changed,

     1. Click the arrow ▼ to display the list.
        All the items are selected by default.

     2. Click Clear to deselect all the items, or clear the check box of each item that you don't want.
     3. On the search line, type the value that you want or select the check box of each item that you want.
     4. Click OK.
8. Optional: Add other attributes and then click Apply Filters.
9. To remove an attribute, click the x.
