We’re happy to announce three new features that will make it easier to manage campaigns and analyze data in DoubleClick Search v3 (DS3); Google AdWords two-way sync, segment report data by timeframe and error filters. With these new features you can now pull in changes made on the engine to DS3, group data within your report by various time ranges such as daily or weekly and easily find and fix errors.
Sync changes on the engine into DS3
With a simple click of your mouse, you now can pull changes made on the engine into your DS3 account. Previously, if a change or edit was made on the engine, there were several steps involved to import that change to DS3.
To Sync AdWords Accounts:
1. Select the engine account to sync then select Sync button in top right hand corner.
2. Select Sync Now.
3. As account is syncing, you and other users in that account will be able to see that sync is in progress.
4. Once sync is complete, see sync details through ‘Latest Sync Details.’
Two-way sync is currently only available for AdWords, but be sure to lookout for adCenter two-way sync in the coming weeks. Learn more about the details on two-way sync in our Help Center.
Group report data by time frame
The next feature we’re releasing is the ability to segment reports by specific time frames such as day, week, and month to name a few. While looking at data totals over the last three months can be helpful, it's much easier to see trends in performance when you can break out data by day or week. For example, if you have a date range of the last month and choose to segment data weekly, you’ll see data broken out for each week of that month.

We’re excited that you’ll now have that ability in DS3. Now, after you select Download, there is the added option to Segment by. From this dropdown, you can select different time periods through which to group the data in the report.
Easily find and fix errors
Finally, we know that from time to time errors can occur when trafficking to the engines. DS3 now makes it easy to find and fix all items with errors. If you’re looking at campaigns (or any other item for that matter), you’ll see a summary of errors. Simply click on show all rows with errors, and your view will filter to just display the items that have errors. Hover over the error icon to get a description of the error.
We hope you enjoy these new features! If you haven’t already, don’t forget to register for an upcoming training, which will review all the new features available in DS3.
