Accounts – Facebook Ads

The Accounts wizard is used to manage saved Google Business Profile accounts for use by the connector. For security reasons, Analytics Edge stores your account information in an encrypted file on your computer, not in the workbook. Accounts are stored using Reference names, and the queries in your workbooks use a Reference name to identify which account to use.

Accounts

Sign in with Facebook – add a new account to the connector.

Saved Accounts – a list of account credentials saved on your computer. Select an entry, then you can:

  • Favorite – tags the account as the preferred account to use for new queries. The account reference name will appear with an asterisk at the beginning.
  • Refresh – update the saved security credentials by logging in again and refreshes teh saved security credentials.
  • Delete – remove the save security credentials from your computer. Note that any queries that used the reference name will be unaffected, but they will return an ‘Account not found’ error.
