- Cross-Account Reporting
- Custom Metrics
- Conversion Path Reporting
1. Cross-Account Reporting
Facebook’s first new ad reporting feature is cross-account reporting. As the name suggests, it works like a reporting hub for advertisers to access to all of their metrics from multiple ad accounts in one place such as reach, impressions, conversions, etc. This feature makes it easier for marketers to see the bigger picture of the performance of all accounts progressively along with demographics, placements, and devices. One thing you should note about this feature is that it doesn’t interfere with the ability to dive into the information at the ad account, campaign, ad set, and ad level. With this feature, you can access up to 24 months of data.
How you can create a cross-account report?
Creating a cross-account report is easy only you have to follow the given steps below:

Once you’re done with creating your custom metrics, they can act as templates for you to be utilized across all your reports. Let me also tell you that while creating your custom metrics, you’ll also have an option to select to have these metrics be available across all of your reports.

Now, Facebook is heading one step further by rolling out conversion path reporting. This new feature provides marketers a new opportunity to better understand their customer’s conversion paths and reflect their learning through the optimized use of Facebook’s wide variety of tools. With this feature, advertisers are now able to identify the most impactful conversion paths.
