Intro

comScore is an Internet analytics company providing marketing data and analytics to many of the world's largest enterprises, agencies, and publishers. You can use Domo's comScore connector to pull data about data download requests, event filters, funnels, and report items. For information about the comScore API, see http://dax-files.comscore.com/digitalanalytix/US/onecall_api/help.html#datadownloadrequest.

The comScore connector is a "Cloud App" connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window.

This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the comScore connector user interface. For general information about adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your comScore account and create a comScore DataSet, you must have the following:

  • The client name of your comScore account.

  • The username of your comScore account.

  • The password of your comScore account.

Connecting to Your comScore Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the comScore connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your comScore account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:  

Field

Description

Client Name

Enter the client name for your comScore account. This is usually the name of your company. Example: domo

Username

Password

Once you have entered valid comScore credentials, you can use the same account anytime you go to create a new comScore DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane includes a primary menu, Report, and other options that appear depending on the report you select.

Report Item ID

Site 

Select the site or sites you want to retrieve information for.

Duration 

Specify whether the data in this report is for a single date or a range of dates.

Report Date 

Specify whether the data is for a specific or relative date. Choose Relative if you always want the report to retrieve data for a given number of days back (which you specify in Days Back) from the current date. For example, if you enter 5 for Days Back and set the DataSet to update daily, each new day the report will update to show information for the date 5 days in the past.   

Select Specific Date 

Select the date you want to retrieve data for.  

Days Back 

Enter the number of days back from the current date that will be presented in the report. 

Start Date 

Specify whether the first date in your date range is a specific or relative date. Choose Relative if you always want the report to retrieve data for a given number of days back (which you specify in Days Back to Start From) from the current date. If you choose Relative here, you should also choose Relative for End Date and specify a value for Date Back to End At. 

For example, if you enter 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At and you set the DataSet to update daily, each new day the report will update to show information for 5 to 10 days in the past.    

End Date 

Specify whether the last date in your date range is a specific or relative date. Choose Relative if you always want the report to retrieve data for a given number of days back (which you specify in Days Back to End At) from the current date. If you choose Relative here, you should also choose Relative for Start Date and specify a value for Date Back to Start From. 

For example, if you enter 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At and you set the DataSet to update daily, each new day the report will update to show information for 5 to 10 days in the past.     

Select Specific Start Date 

Select the first date in your date range.  

Select Specific End Date 

Select the last date in your date range.  

Days Back to Start From 

Enter the number of days before the current date to use as the start date.  

For example, if you enter 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At and you set the DataSet to update daily, each day the report updates to show information for a 5-day range, starting 10 days ago and ending 5 days ago. 

Days Back to End At 

Enter the number of days before the current date to use as the end date.  

For example, if you enter 10 for Days Back to Start From and 5 for Days Back to End At and you set the DataSet to update daily, each day the report updates to show information for a 5-day range, starting 10 days ago and ending 5 days ago.
