Adwords Reports

When did this change?

Am used to just knocking up a summary report on the fly in Adwords so that I can check vital signals across my campaigns.

Noticed this morning that you have to name all reports, and that they are submitted to a central reporting engine. You can then wait for them to complete or go back to your download centre later to pick them up.

When did that change?

Changed this morning.

Noticed the new reports too. Biggest issue I have, it seems there is no way to edit the settings of a report once one is created.

There is a nice "copy existing report" option, but that seems pretty useless if you can't edit the newly copied report settings...

I haven't gotten two days worth of reports in the same format since they made the changes. One day, the .csv columns are in one order, and a different order the next.

It's turned the once-simple, 5-minute task of loading daily reports into our inhouse tracking system into an hour-plus task as we rewrite our integration scripts EVERY DAY to accomodate these changes.

I agree that sticking to a format is very important. I had to change a zillion macros to facilitate the changes and make sure my imports are still running so i would appriciate some stability here :(

I completely agree that stability is very important, and I'm making sure that the right folks are seeing the feedback in the threads regarding reports.

Again, sorry for the difficulties, and many thanks for your patience.
