Filters exclude specific data from reports. With filter sets, you can easily create multiple sets of data to limit the return values of your reports. Create different filter sets for each subset of data you want to track, and you can quickly flip between them when viewing reports.

When a filter set is active, a separate line-item will appear at the bottom of reports that indicates the totals for the filtered items. In this fashion, the totals that appear in the tables still represent the actual values of your site. If you wish to remove the data completely you should use an exclusion rather than a filter.

1. From the Settings menu choose My Filter Sets.
2. Click the Add Filter Set button or click on the name of a Filter Set to edit it.
3. Enter a short but descriptive name for the filter set in the Name field.
4. Enter the items you want to exclude, one per line. Any text field in reports that contains any item in the list will be removed from the report and its values will be added to a summary line. Filters are NOT case sensitive.
5. Check Make this the active filter set to use this filter as the default whenever viewing reports.
6. Click Save to save the filter set.
