Downloading an Activity Report

If you have the LSH Admin or CP Admin persona, you can download several types of reports from the Download Activity Reports page:

LSH-Download_Activity_Reports_page-full_page.png
  • Audience Activity Report: Contains information on all actions that have been performed on the audiences and taxonomy segments in your account.

  • Data Activity Report: Contains information on all actions taken by your partners that involved data you've permissioned to them.

  • Permissions Activity Report: Contains information on all permission activity that has taken place in your account, such as when a permission was created, edited, or revoked.

  • User Activity Report: Contains information on actions performed by all users in your account

Note

For information on permissions, see "Creating a Permission for Data".

When you click the Download button for a report, you will receive an email message that includes a link to download the report once the report is processed. If you don't receive a message, create a Safe Haven case in the LiveRamp Community portal.

Each report is downloaded as an Excel (XLSX) file. The file name for each report includes the report name and the date and time you download the report (for example, Permissioned_Data_Activity_Report_2022/11/20-14:22:07.xlsx). The rows in each report are in reverse chronological order (with the most recently updated rows at the top).

All dates and times used in file names, and in the rows of each report, are given in UTC.

The report downloads include all activity for that category, and cannot be filtered or sorted prior to downloading. Reports can be filtered or sorted in Excel once downloaded.

Rows are never removed from reports for any reason. For example, if an audience is created but then later deleted, the row for that audience creation will continue to be present in the appropriate activity report.

The Audience Activity Report contains information on all actions that have been performed on the audiences and taxonomy segments in your account, including:
