### **Before you start**

**What you'll need**

* An Amazon Ads connection
* A project field that contains your product IDs

## **Setting up Insights for Amazon Ads**

1. In the menu, click **Insights** > **+ Create Insights**.
2. Select **\[your Amazon Ads** **connection]** and fill in the following information:
3. For **Name**, give your dashboard a distinct name
4. For **Date range setting**, choose between a fixed range or rolling date range (continuous).
5. For **Date range**, choose the date range you want to pull data from (if fixed range) or the maximum amount of days to pull data from (if rolling date range) **Note:** If you’re using the preview version of Insights, you only have the option of a 90 day rolling date range.
6. For **Channel unique ID**, select the field that contains your products' [unique IDs](/get-started/getting-started/fields-in-channable/understanding-a-unique-id.md).
7. For **Amazon account**, select your Amazon account you want to retrieve data from
8. For **Time range attribution**, define the window of time you attribute a conversion to an initial impression.

   **Example** **‘2 weeks’** - If someone clicks on your product, leaves, but returns a week later to purchase it, you determine the sale is linked to your ad.
9. Use **Group on field(s)** (optional) to group data based on category/brand/any or other field from your imported items.
10. Click **New Insights dashboard**.

Within a few minutes, your dashboard will appear with an overview of your products.
