Create and manage Floodlight groups

A Floodlight group is a collection of advertisers sharing Floodlight and attribution settings. Floodlight groups are similar to Floodlight configurations in Campaign Manager 360. You can share Floodlight groups across multiple advertisers within a partner if you have partner-level access. To create an advertiser with a Floodlight group managed in Display & Video 360 see Create an advertiser.

Note that if you manage Floodlight for a Display & Video 360 advertiser through a linked Campaign Manager 360 account, you’ll continue to use Campaign Manager 360 to manage Floodlight.

You can manage your Floodlight group basic details, Floodlight activities, and assigned advertisers by selecting a specific group from Floodlight Groups under the partner. From this page you can view:

• Floodlight group basic details: View basic Floodlight group settings such as tag types, conversion windows, and third-party integrations from this tab. 
• Floodlight activities: View individual Floodlight activities from this tab. 
  • Click into a Floodlight activity to manage that activity’s basic details or view its code to place on the website or app where you want to track events.
• Assigned advertisers: View the number of advertisers associated with each Floodlight Group.

To create a new Floodlight group:

1. From the partner, click Floodlight Groups in the left menu.
2. Click the New Floodlight Group button.
