# Tactics reference

> Reference for the Tactics tab of Data Center, with each control and column, the rules for labels and custom tactics, and the built-in tactics.

This page lists the parts of the **Tactics** tab of Data Center. The tab lists the advertising campaigns of the workspace and the tactic of each campaign. Attribution uses the tactic to group campaigns on the **Tactics** tab of the **Performance Table**. See [Compare channels, tactics, and campaigns](https://docs.prescientai.com/attribution/compare-channels-tactics-and-campaigns).
