What is the purpose of the Games module?
The main purpose of this module is to allow the publishers, internal production teams, and studios to test their prototypes and measure their potential on a range of metrics: CPI, CTR, CVR, IPM, playtime, and retention. Users simply provide necessary app credentials, as well as the creatives, launch test campaigns, and review the results directly from Homa Lab (Submissions section). This tool saves users the campaign setup steps and makes it easier to share the results with the entire team.
The second purpose of the Games Module is to track the game and campaign performance of Published Games (Published section). Note that you only have access to this section once you have published a game with Homa.
Submissions
If you're a Publishing Manager or part of the Internal Production team, you have the ability to submit games you'd like to test, add creatives, and launch those tests.
As other internal users, you can simply check the results of the tests conducted.
As an external user, you also have the option to submit games you'd like to test, add creatives, and view the results. However, please note that currently, tests must be launched by an internal user, specifically your trusty Publishing Manager (based on permissions).
Publishing
Whether you're a Publishing Manager, part of the Internal Production team, or another internal user, you have the privilege to view the results of the campaigns launched by the UA managers. Additionally, you can also access valuable metrics that provide insights into the game's performance.
As an external user, you can conveniently view the results of both Lifetime budget campaigns and Test campaigns.
