About Reports
Yahoo! Search Marketing Performance Summary reports collect data for objects by object name. This means that a row of data in the tabular report (for example, an ad group named “Winter Clearance”) shows aggregated data for all ad groups of that same name across the entire Mobile Sponsored Search account. All other reports collect and display data by an internal ID instead of the object name. This means that each of these objects are displayed individually in a tabular report. For example, if two ad groups were named “Winter Clearance” the report would show two separate rows of data, one for each individual ad group.
All Mobile Sponsored Search Reports will be displayed in the time zone where the account is based. Billing reports however will be generated in the Pacific time zone, which may lead to some discrepancies between your performance reports and your billing reports.

Report Configurations
A report configuration is a template of the parameters you use to generate a report. Without a report configuration, you would have to specify the parameters of a report every time you want to generate it. With a report configuration, those parameters are saved so that you can quickly generate a report, based on the latest available data for your selected time period. View the Saved Report Configurations topic for more information on using report configurations.
