This feature is available only with paid Kochava accounts. Contact us to learn more.
We highly recommend checking your Kochava tracking links to ensure that the below keys are included exactly as below. This is necessary for us to join your Cost data to Measurement data.
- partner_campaign_id = the network partner’s campaign ID.
- partner_campaign_name = not required, but is human-readable and useful to have on measurement data.
- creative_Id = required for joining cost to measurement data at the creative level – EITHER the creative_id or creative_name can be passed here, so long as it is available from the network in cost data to join – AND doesn’t change mid-campaign.
Example: partner_campaign_id={partner macro here}
NOTE: When creating each network API integration, we review the click and impression templates on file with Kochava to ensure as best we can that the above parameters are included. However, it is possible that not all partners have made necessary updates – or the links were adjusted manually prior to trafficking – and double checking is highly recommended. If you need help verifying in-flight trackers, please contact your CSM team for assistance. They can help you identify network partners where these values may be missing.
NOTE: It is OK to have these values added more than once under different keys. For example, if you are sending partner_campaign_id under cp_2={partner_campaign_id}, for example, you can keep doing that but will be required to add the same value under the partner_campaign_id key.
Example: Your links could contain both —
control.kochava.com/v1/cpi/click?campaign_id=12345&cp_2={partner_campaign_id}&partner_campaign_id={partner_campaign_id}
Lifetime Value (LTV) calculations vary in terms of how they are calculated across industries and advertisers. To solve for this, we have created a standard event called “LTV” that can be sent to Kochava at any interval that makes sense for the advertiser. Include the LTV value in the event_data section. (e.g., event_name -> “LTV” and event_value -> “$4.56”).
Our Measurement Explorer will look for an event called “LTV” and collect the last value sent and display the event_value as sent on the event. This allows our system to display the sum of user LTV across available dimensions for the most recent value received.
NOTE: To utilize our standard LTV calculations using the Ad View event over 1, 7, 14, or 30 day timeframe, please refer to the current LTV support documentation for the Analytics – LTV page.

The Cost Explorer is divided into three main sections:
The first is a field control section on the left side for selecting available dimensions and measures. The field control has a search bar and an All Fields and In Use tabs for selecting or deselecting dimensions, measures, pivots and filters.
The second section is the center portion of the screen with a tab for Filters, Visualization and Data that have been selected in the field control and can easily be expanded or contracted as needed.
NOTE: The currency filter does not provide any drop-down options. The user will needs to enter the 3 digit currency code (upper/lower case allowed) and click run. For a full list of currencies supported by Kochava, refer to our Cost Overview support documentation.
The third is the top section where you can find the Save View feature, Run button to refresh the results after adding new dimensions or measures, and a gear wheel menu.
Field Control
The Field Control section provides the ability to easily add or remove any of the available fields. There are two tabs within the section, All Fields provides the full list of fields available for selection and In Use provides the list of fields that are currently selected. When a field has been added or removed, the Cost graphic display will be updated. Below is a list of the available fields for selection.
Features:
The Field Control section provides robust features allowing users to easily locate, select or remove fields for analysis.
Search —
The field search box provides a convenient method for locating specific fields. Typing part of all of the field name will filter all of the available fields to display only the fields that match the query.
Selecting/Removing Fields —
Once a field has been located with the list of fields, click on it to add the field. Clicking on a selected field will remove that field from the list and the graphic display will be updated.
Clearing Fields —
All selected fields may be cleared. Under In Use click Clear all.
Collapsing Fields Menu —
In order to maximize the graphic display, the Fields menu may be collapsed by clicking on the collapse button.
Quick Start Reload —
At any point, the Quick Start prebuilt analysis may be loaded. Click on the lightning bolt icon and select from one of the prebuilt analysis. If any filtering has been selected, you will be presented with an option to either keep the current filters or replace them with the new filters associated with the prebuilt analysis.
Group By —
The Group by dimensions are required whenever you are selecting the “Country” or “Creative” dimensions in the Primary Fields. As not all partners provide Country or Creative data, this will allow for increased or decreased granularity as needed.
NOTE: If the Group by dimension is not selected, the data will display as ungrouped_country or ungrouped_creative. Simply toggle on the Group by for the desired dimension and click Run.
