Advanced dimension filter configuration

This guide explains advanced configurations for dimension filters.

Introduction

Filter data in widgets and dashboards to display only the information that you find relevant.

This guide explains advanced dimension filter configurations and how to create widgets with multiple dimension filters. For information on how to create simple widgets with filters, see Creating widgets with filters.

Prerequisites

Before you complete the procedure in this guide, perform all of the following actions:

• Load your collected data into Adverity Data Storage.

• Add data to the widget in Data Explorer.

• Add a dimension filter to your widget.

Combining dimension filters

You can set up multiple dimension filters. This section explains how dimension filters are combined using two dimension filters as an example.

By default, Adverity displays data in widgets if it satisfies the criteria of both filters at the same time. This combination of filter criteria relies on intersection (AND) logic. It narrows down the data that Adverity displays, and you see less data.

To change how Adverity combines the criteria of the two dimension filters, create each filter separately.

As a result, Adverity displays data in widgets if it satisfies the criteria of at least one of the two filters. This combination of filter criteria relies on union (OR) logic. It extends the data that Adverity displays, and you see more data.

Changing dimension filter criteria

By default, the dimension filter selects values that exactly match the filter criteria. For example, if you filter for a campaign with the name A, the widgets will only display data for this campaign.

To change dimension filter criteria, follow these steps:

1. Select the workspace you work with in Adverity and then, in the platform navigation menu, click Data Explorer.

2. At the top of the page, select the View tab that contains the widget.

3. In the Widget Filters section, click the dimension filter.

4. Click the selected dimension value several times to select one of the following options:

   is

   The widget filters data for dimension values that exactly match the expression selected in the filter.

   contains

   The widget filters data for dimension values that contain the expression selected in the filter.

   startsWith

   The widget filters data for dimension values that start with the expression selected in the filter.

   endsWith

   The widgets filters data for dimension values that end with the expression selected in the filter.

5. Click Apply.
