Filters narrow every report in tinyanalytics to a subset of your traffic — one country, one page, one campaign, or any combination. A filter applies across the whole dashboard at once and stays active as you move between reports, so you can ask a focused question and get a consistent answer everywhere.

​
How do I apply a filter?

  • Click a row. In a breakdown, the map, or the Performance table, click a value — a referrer, a country — to filter the dashboard by it. Click again to remove it. This is the fastest way to drill in.
  • Click a page. In the Pages and Landing pages tables, a row click instead opens the main dashboard already filtered to that page, carrying your date range and other active filters with it. There’s no click-again-to-clear on these two tables — remove the filter on the dashboard, or use your browser’s Back button.
  • Add a filter manually. Use the filter control to build a filter from a dimension, an operator, and one or more values.

​
What is a filter made of?

A filter has three parts: a dimension (what to filter on), an operator (how to compare), and one or more values. Common dimensions include page path, page title, hostname, referrer, channel, country, region, city, browser, operating system, device type, screen size, UTM parameters, event name, and tag. Two dimensions are session-scoped rather than pageview-scoped: Entry Page and Entry Hostname match the first page of a session, so they mean “entered on” rather than “visited anywhere”. Use them to isolate the sessions that started somewhere, and page path or hostname to catch every session that reached it at any point. The operators are:

​
How do I combine filters?

  • Several values on one filter are combined with OR — country is US or GB matches visitors from either.
  • Several filters are combined with AND — country is US plus page is /pricing matches US visitors who saw the pricing page.

​
Filters follow you across reports

An active filter stays applied as you switch between Overview, Pages, Sessions, and the rest. Set up a view once — say, mobile visitors from a campaign — and every report reflects it until you clear it. Filtering the Sessions list keeps whole sessions rather than trimming them to matching events, so “sessions that reached this page” answers correctly. See Sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Click the same row again. If you filtered by clicking a value in a breakdown, the map, or the Performance table — a referrer, a country — clicking it a second time removes that filter. Filters you built with the filter control are removed from the control itself. The Pages and Landing pages tables are the exception: a row click there navigates to a filtered dashboard, so you remove the filter on the dashboard or use your browser’s Back button.
Yes. A User ID filter matches a person whether their ID arrived as an anonymous visitor ID or as one you attached with identify. This applies to the is, is not, is set, and is not set operators.
Yes. Every filter uses a dimension, an operator, and one or more values, and the operators include matches regex and does not match regex. The other operators are is / is not, contains / does not contain, starts with / ends with, and is set / is not set.
Yes. An active filter stays applied as you switch between Overview, Pages, Sessions, and the rest of the dashboard, until you clear it. Set up a view once — mobile visitors from a campaign, for example — and every report reflects it.
