By clicking the Channels drop-down on the top navigation bar, you have two selections:
Channels
Heading to the Channels page, you will see a dashboard devoted to the top level metrics for all the channels that have been created. It shows the following metrics starting at the top:
Top: Today’s Total Revenue, Paid Impressions, eCPM and Fill Rate (Ad Ops) . These metrics also show Yesterday’s total amounts, as well as the month-to-date (MTD) total amounts. Revenue numbers default to USD.
Middle: Two bar chart graphs, the left one showing the daily breakout of Revenue (or Ad Requests or Impressions) and the right one showing the Performance of the channels. The date range can be adjusted using the drop down above these bar charts.
Bottom: A table that is also affected by the date range selection mentioned above. This table can be exported by clicking the export to csv button. The column headers can be shifted left and right based on how you would like see this table by clicking the individual dimension/metric and dragging it left or right. In this table, you can quickly see the metrics for all your metrics:

You can manage the dimensions and metrics you see in this table by clicking the button on the right of the table headers. Take a look inside to see all the metrics available!
Additionally, the left sidebar gives you the ability to create a new channel, as well listing out all the channels that have been created, with the number of active sources vs the total amount of sources created. Underneath Select channel: you can search and filter this list to specific channels. If you click on any single channel here, you will be brought to the dashboard for that specific channel. For more on viewing a specific channel, head to Viewing a Channel. Clicking the button will sort the channels accordingly by channel name.
The left sidebar also has the ability to generate a sellers.json file. Simply click the
button and the json file will be downloaded to your device for viewing and use.
