the field "Status" come from "Placement Performance Report" represent for what?

[zhang chandler]

in the  "placement performance report "document,  the field "status" represent below:

"The status of the main object in this row. For example, in a Campaign Performance Report this will be the status of each row's Campaign. In an Ad Group Performance Report this will be the status of each row's AdGroup. "

#1 Then I though  the description  confuses me . I don't know how to comprehesion the description. I don't know what that mean.

#2 Secondly, I found a record that the "status" field show "removed", take a look at the picture #1,

but in the adword system ,as you see picture #2, the "status ( 状态) " show "this is a placement which is created by the system"（“系统推荐的展示位置”），

yep, why the report api respone me a "removed status" ,but the adword system show me the other thing?

Hi, 

Please find my responses below:

1. The Status field in Placement Performance Report will have the status of the placement itself. For instance, if a placement is in paused state, it will have the value as "paused". The given description of that field is very generic. For better clarity, it is explaining how it is similar to status of a campaign in the Campaign Performance Report and status of an Ad Group in the AdGroup performance report. 
2. Looks like the specific placement that you are referring to was removed on 17-Jan-2018. Irrespective of the date range in the report, Status field being an attribute will always reflect its current state. Since the current state of that placement is removed, your API report is having status as removed. To verify this, you can pick a date range starting from 17-Jan-2018 and confirm that this placement is not visible in your AdWords web interface. 

Let me know if you have any further questions. 

Thanks,
