Set up DC Analytics (DCMN)

DC Analytics (DCMN) is an analytics network integrated with Adjust. Our integration lets DC Analytics (DCMN) receive attribution and in-app event data through automated callbacks. Use this data with the partners' tools for analytics and insights.

In this article, learn how to set up measurement with DC Analytics (DCMN) for your app. This includes activating the integration and choosing what data Adjust can share with DC Analytics (DCMN).

Before you begin

Requirements

iOS / Android / Windows / Unity / React Native / Flutter / Adobe Air / Cordova / Marmalade / Xamarin / Cocos2d-x / Titanium / Corona

Credentials

TRACKING ID

  • For help finding your credentials, contact your DC Analytics (DCMN) representative.

Select DC Analytics (DCMN) and your app in Campaign Lab

  1. Under Campaign Lab, select Partners.
  2. Select New partner > DC Analytics (DCMN). Select Next to move to the next screen.
  3. In the App selection screen, choose the app for which you want to create the link, and enable the integration to share data with DC Analytics (DCMN).
  4. Select Next.

Enable data sharing

Enable data sharing to activate the integration with DC Analytics (DCMN). To enable data sharing:

  1. Enter your TRACKING ID.

Once you enable data sharing with DC Analytics (DCMN), Adjust automatically sends DC Analytics (DCMN) the following data, by default:

  • install
  • session
  • reinstall
  • event

Set your data sharing options

If you’re working with a multi-platform app with data sharing enabled for multiple platforms, you can:

  1. Separate data sharing options at the platform-level by selecting Use platform-specific settings.
  2. Set the same data sharing settings for multiple platforms by selecting Use global settings.

Now, under What will be shared by default?, review the activities that Adjust shares with DC Analytics (DCMN) by default:

  • install
  • session
  • reinstall
  • event

Send additional data

Choose the amount and type of data that you want to share with DC Analytics (DCMN) through callbacks. DC Analytics (DCMN) may use this information to optimize performance.

To send additional data, you can review and customize the following:

In-app revenue (from in-app purchases)

Sharing in-app revenue lets DC Analytics (DCMN) receive revenue amounts along with your revenue event data. You need to map events that generate revenue to share this data.

Uninstalls or reinstalls

Sharing uninstalls or reinstalls lets DC Analytics (DCMN) receive your app’s uninstall and/or reinstall data measured by Adjust.

Note:

For iOS apps, you might expect a low record of uninstalls and/or reinstalls. For more information, visit Uninstall and reinstall measurement.

Sessions

Adjust does not automatically send session callbacks due to the high volume of sessions. Sharing sessions means DC Analytics (DCMN) will receive your app’s session activity.

Map parameters

You usually need to map parameters to share custom data with DC Analytics (DCMN).

Map events

Map events that you want to share to the values that DC Analytics (DCMN) can receive. Data for unmapped events is not shared with DC Analytics (DCMN).

Under Map events, follow these steps to choose the in-app events you want to directly send to DC Analytics (DCMN).

  1. Select Map event.
  2. In the Adjust event list, choose the Adjust event that you want to share with DC Analytics (DCMN).
  3. In the Partner event list, choose or enter a custom event name that you want to map the Adjust event to. You might have to map an event to several values.
  4. Select Apply.

Now DC Analytics (DCMN) will receive in-app event data for each of your linked events.

Map parameters

Partner parameters (available in Adjust SDK version 4.0+) let Adjust collect custom data points from your app and send them to DC Analytics (DCMN). This lets DC Analytics (DCMN) receive custom event details for each of your linked events.

Before adding new partner parameters to the Adjust SDK, make sure no pre-existing partner parameters already fit your requirements.

To share partner parameters to DC Analytics (DCMN), follow these steps.

  1. Set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK: iOS, Android
  2. Check the Parameters data sharing checkbox.
  3. Map your events.
Note:

If you set up partner parameters within the Adjust SDK without setting up parameter sharing in the dashboard, Adjust forwards the parameters as named in the Adjust SDK.

Enable DC Analytics (DCMN) for your app

In the Setup review screen, you can review your choices. You can also go back and make changes to:

  • Your selected app
  • Data sharing options

Select Enable partner to enable DC Analytics (DCMN) for your app. Analytics partners don't work with links for campaigns. Once enabled, our integration sends attribution and in-app event data via automated callbacks.
