Remove Adobe Analytics metrics or report suites from Search Ads 360

Removing a metric or report suite from Search Ads 360 does not affect the report suite in Adobe Analytics. The report suite or metric will continue collecting data in Adobe Analytics, but Search Ads 360 will stop requesting data for it.

Search Ads 360 does not remove the Floodlight activities and groups it created for the metric or suite. Bid strategies, formula columns, and rules that include the Floodlight activities will continue to function, but they won't see any fresh data for the activities after you remove the metrics or report suite.

It's recommended that you remove the Floodlight activities from bid strategies to ensure that your bid strategies are using actively maintained data.

If you remove a report suite and add it back again later, Search Ads 360 reuses the original Floodlight activities. If you remove a metric and add it back again later (using the exact same name), Search Ads 360 reuses the original Floodlight activity.

Special permissions required

To add an Adobe Analytics reports suite, you need agency manager or advertiser manager permissions.
