This article will help you to understand how to apply a filter on a widget. This can help you to see the data from specific campaigns, ad groups, ad sets, or ads.
Filters play a crucial role in managing and customizing the way your data is displayed in widgets. With features like AND/OR logic and date-based filtering, understanding how to effectively apply filters can help in tailoring data to meet your specific requirements.
Filtering ad data for specific ad sets can be effectively achieved through the use of table widgets. These widgets allow users to analyze and verify relationships between ad sets and their corresponding ads, making it easier to organize and interpret data in Whatagraph.
Understanding AND/OR Filter Logic
When setting up filters, it’s essential to comprehend the impact of AND/OR logic on data presentation:
AND Logic: Use "AND" for data that must meet all conditions simultaneously. For example, "Text A Contains A AND Text B Contains B" displays entries satisfying both conditions.
OR Logic: Use "OR" to include data meeting at least one condition. For example, "Text A Contains A OR Text B Contains B" returns entries satisfying either or both conditions.
Examples of Filter Applications
Configure filters with AND logic for campaigns requiring multiple concurrent conditions (e.g., "Location = US AND Device = Mobile").
Apply OR logic for broader data inclusion (e.g., "Region = EU OR Region = Asia"). These examples demonstrate the flexibility of combining metrics and dimensions across multiple filters.
Step 1. Once you create a report and choose a channel, please click on the widget that you wish to filter, and there will be a field to choose a Metric, which you have to specify to a specific filtering group you wish to get the data for. This core principle is the same for all integrations that have filtering available in their API:
Step 2. When you click on the "Add a filter" it will bring you to a window where you can choose to filter out dimensions or metrics:
Step 3. After choosing a dimension or a metric, you will be able to choose an action by clicking on the "Select value":
Step 4. Lastly, please enter a keyword or, in this case, the name of the campaign that you would like to filter out and click on the "Apply filter" button.
