This page shows all the traffic sources you have already created. From here, you can go to the creation page of the traffic source by clicking the “Create traffic source” button, and also see the traffic sources that you added to the Archive by clicking on the “Move to archive” button.

In the upper right corner, you’ll see the “Actions” panel.

Edit” icon becomes active when you select a specific traffic source. By clicking on this icon, you will be redirected to the editing page of this traffic source.

Copy” icon allows you to copy the selected traffic source with its settings. The name of a copied traffic source will look like the initial traffic source name+copy1.

Move to archive” icon becomes active when you select a specific traffic source. Currently, the AdsBridge platform does not provide the delete option; therefore, if you wish to stop using a traffic source in your campaigns, you can move it to “Archive”. Archived traffic sources may be re-activated if necessary. In the Archive, you can search traffic sources by ID and name. As for the information available on the archived traffic sources, you can view their ID, Name, Type, Archiving date, Actions (icon for changing over to “Statistics” section on a specific traffic source).

Notes” icon becomes active when you select a specific traffic source. Here, if necessary, you can add any note on a traffic source. For this, enter text in the bottom field. The following options are available for text formatting: cancel, repeat, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough. Once you entered the text, press “Apply”, and it will be displayed on the top field. The added note will be shown as an icon near the traffic source name.

The information available on the note is the name of a manager who created it (useful when there is a multi-user access to the account) and date. Moreover, you can edit or delete the note.

Please note that when you copy the traffic source, the note is not copied.

Export” icon exports the uploaded statistics in CSV.

Refresh” icon refreshes the statistics on the screen.
