DSP History

Basis tracks and logs all of the changes your team makes to a campaign's DSP line items, groups, and tactics. The log includes information such as the date and time of the change, the user who made the change, a description, and the name of the edited item.

The amount of information in the change description varies depending on the type of change. More common changes like budget updates include specific details, while lower frequency changes are less detailed. For example, the description for budget updates specifies the old and new values ("Budget changed from $1.000.00 to $1,500.00,") while the description for updates to a tactic's device options contains less information ("Devices edited.")

Change data is available as of July 2022. Optimization changes generated by AO, MLO, Bid Shading, GBO, or Bid Multipliers don't appear in the change log.
