Hello,

How can I differentiate Interest from UserList in the Audience Performance Report? I need to differentiate them because I want to change status or update CPC of a specific criterion.

I can see that criterion types are defined like this.

criterionUserList.setCriterionType(CriterionType._USER_LIST);

criterionUserInterest.setCriterionType(CriterionType._USER_INTEREST);

Thank you!

Well, if criteria contains "boomuserlist" -> user List

if criteria contains "uservertical" -> user Interest.

But is there a better way? I mean any report column?

Thanks

Hi Victor,

You could use Criteria Performance Report which contains the CriteriaType field to differentiate Interest from UserList. Audiences of type UserInterest do not have a UserListName associated with them, which could also be helpful to differentiate Interest from UserList in Audience Performance Report.
