 Before you can sort your [[Ct#Affiliate|affiliate]] statistics, you must first create the appropriate subIDs. You can do this in the '''Creatives''' section of the affiliate page.  First, select a specific creative type for which you would like to create subIDs, then enter the name of the SubID you would like to add.  Next, click the (+) icon and the subID will be created.  You can append additional subIDs to this one to create a SubID Set, which is just a group of subIDs.  You can also get linkcodes using specific subID sets without associating it to a specific creative by clicking on the [[Ct#Linkcode|Linkcodes]] tab.
