Understanding the Connect UI Pages

You can think of the Welcome page as your application home page, where you can utilize quick-action tiles and see an overview of your notifications:

To access the Welcome page, click Welcome to Connect in the Connect navigation menu.

Your dashboard is where you can see aggregate stats for each of your audiences, including the date the audience was last updated, the number of unique records, the number of active records, and the number of record or device matches by destination.

You can use audience stats to keep tabs on your current LiveRamp audience usage. Because audience usage often corresponds closely with your monthly LiveRamp bill, keeping your team up-to-date on audience stats can help your company stay on top of LiveRamp billing.

You can also use audience stats to help you keep within product limits if you’ve signed a usage contract with LiveRamp that prevents you from exceeding a certain number of records in a given month. So you might check your current number of unique records in an audience before uploading new files.

These stats are displayed on the Dashboard and the Audiences tab of the My Company Settings page. Audience stats typically take 1-3 days to initially populate after uploading the first file for that audience and 1-3 days to update after uploading a subsequent file.

To view audience stats in your dashboard in Connect:

The Batch Upload Tab

The Batch Upload tab allows you to upload a Data Marketplace segment metadata file to provide additional information on the segments you'd like to sell (such as segment name, permitted use cases, and price) to enable them as Data Marketplace segments.

Before uploading a file, download a segment metadata file for the segments you want to provide information on and then update the file to provide the additional information. For instructions on updating the file, see "Update a Data Marketplace Segment Metadata File".

Once you've updated the file, drop and drag the file into the upload box, or click Choose a File to Upload and navigate to the file you wish to upload. For complete instructions, see "Upload a Data Marketplace Segment Metadata File".
