- The Affiliate Referral Tier Payouts report lists details of affiliate referral tier programs

The search boxes at the top of the page allow you to refine your results and sort by Date Range, Affiliate, Site/Option, and Tracking methods.
How Tracking Works
NATS keeps track of surfers and surfer activity for several of its reports. The track and strack article explains how NATS's tracking works with inbound affiliate traffic so that you will be able to use it in the most effective way.
Surfer Statistics
Some NATS reports can display information about surfer activity, however storing information about every click a surfer makes requires considerable space in your database. As a result, this feature has been disabled by default-- we only store the most important surfer stats. To enable surfer click stats, add the following variable to your nats/includes/config.php file.
$config['LIMIT_SURFER_STATS'] = FALSE;
You should remove the above line after you get the statistics you want, as leaving surfer click stats enabled can slow down your database due to the size of the log files.
