Filtering analytics dashboards
Tip
When working with Group filter, keep in mind some users may belong to more than one Group on your team.
In addition to the impact your user role and Collection permissions have on your view of analytics, each dashboard has a filter, located at the top of the page, which can be used to modify the data displayed in each of the dashboard's reports. Admins can filter by all Collections (even when they don't have permission to them) whereas Collection owners and authors can only filter by Collections they have permission to.
Save a filtered view
- After filtering the analytics dashboard to your liking, save the filter for quick reference in the future.
- Click Save view to the left of the filters.
- In the modal that opens, give the view a name (required). The checkbox to save the view for other users is not accessible and your saved view will remain private to you.
- Click Save to save your filtered view for future reference.
- If you edit a dashboard's filters while viewing a saved view, you'll see a tiny blue dot appear next to the filter's name. This dot indicates the saved view has changed. Click the caret icon to reveal the options to:
- Update. Overwrite this saved view with your current view and the set of filter(s) applied.
- Save view. Save your current view as a new view.
- Manage views. Delete one or more saved views.
- Reset Liveboard. Reset the dashboard's date filter to 01/01/2023 and remove all other filters applied.
