Filters and date ranges
Slice every screen by page, source, location, device, and more.
Date range, comparison, and filters are shared controls that sit above every dashboard screen. Set them once and they follow you as you move between Overview, Sources, Sessions, and the rest. They also live in the URL, so any view you are looking at is a link you can share.
Date ranges
Pick from four presets: 24h, 7d, 30d, and 90d. The default is 7d. There is no custom date input yet, so you cannot enter an arbitrary start and end.
Chart granularity follows the range automatically:
| Range | Granularity |
|---|---|
| 24h | Hourly |
| 7d | Daily |
| 30d | Daily |
| 90d | Weekly |
The selected range is stored in the URL as ?range=, so a view stays put when you refresh or send the link to a teammate.
Comparisons
Turn on a comparison to see how the current range stacks up against an earlier one. Three modes:
- Off - no comparison.
- Previous period - the equal-length window immediately before the current range.
- Year over year - the same range one year earlier.
When a comparison is on, each metric card shows a delta against the comparison window. Bounce rate is the exception: its delta is inverted, because a lower bounce rate is the improvement.
Filters
A filter narrows every screen to the traffic you care about. Each filter is a dimension, an operator, and one or more values.
Operators: is, is not, contains, does not contain.
Filterable dimensions:
- Page (path), Entry page, Exit page
- Channel, Referrer
- UTM source, medium, campaign, term, content
- Country, Region, City
- Device type, Browser, OS, Language
- Event name
You can also filter on any custom event property with the prop:<key> syntax, for example prop:plan. As you type a value, WebSight suggests matches ranked by traffic. A single filter accepts up to 20 values.
Click to filter
You rarely need to build filters by hand. Click any row in any breakdown, anywhere in the dashboard, and it becomes a filter. Click a country in Audience, a referrer in Sources, a page in Pages, and the whole dashboard narrows to it.
Filters are encoded in the URL alongside the range, so a filtered view is fully shareable. Press Esc to clear all filters at once.
