The type of ad campaign the costs were spent on. Thanks to this field, OWOX BI can filter out mobile ad traffic while attributing session cost.
Possible values:
APP: mobile app ad costs
WEB: website traffic ad costs
null: couldn't identify the type of campaign

The campaign type is identified:

1) for Google Ads costs imported to Google Analytics with the BigQuery Data Transfer Service enabled;
2) for Facebook costs imported via the Facebook → Google BigQuery that connected with your Google Analytics Cost Data → Google BigQuery.

The APP-type cost data will not be attributed to sessions in the session data table.

adGroup STRING The ad group
adGroupId STRING The ad group ID
adGroupName STRING The ad group name
dataSource  STRING Internal technical information

NoteUnder scheme GA_ONLY, the adSource, campaignId, campaignName, adGroupId, adGroupName, and adAccount fields contain NULL for all the imported ad costs.
If you need these data, opt for scheme GA_NATIVE_PLUS_GBQ of the Google Analytics Cost Data → Google BigQuery pipeline. Read more
