Pacing (Caps) Report - Everflow Helpdesk

Learn how to use the Pacing Report to monitor campaign performance against caps and budgets, helping you optimize Offer performance and prevent overspending in Everflow.

Overview

The Pacing Report helps you monitor and manage your caps in real-time, showing how close you are to hitting your daily, weekly, monthly, or total limits on Clicks, Conversions, Payouts, or Revenue.

This helps you stay within budget and keep your ads running smoothly.

By watching these limits closely, you can adjust caps before they're hit and prevent campaign interruptions that could hurt your performance.

Understanding Cap Settings

Caps are set within the Offer, Offer Group or Custom Settings (at least the ones you can see in the Pacing Report). These caps limit how many actions can happen in a set time.

When you hit a cap, all new Clicks go to Pending.

Quick Reminder

Set caps lower than your budget - you may still get Conversions from earlier Clicks after hitting the cap.

A Real-Life Example

Let's say you're managing "CineFlix Digital," an online movie platform:

This shows how the Pacing Report helps you adjust caps during peak entertainment hours to maximize revenue while maintaining system capacity.

Best Practices

Keep a close eye on your cap usage by checking it frequently - this helps you notice patterns and catch problems early.

The performance graph makes it easy to see trends over time, which helps you adjust caps ahead of time based on how your Offers are performing and what your Advertiser budgets look like.

For the best results, use the pacing report together with your other reports to manage your campaigns more effectively.
