Can I Save My Filter Settings?
With Analytics filters, you can easily customize your data views. Best of all: your current filter settings are automatically saved in the URL.
Answer
Yes, you can save your filter settings – and it’s completely automatic! Whenever you apply or change filters in Analytics, your settings are instantly stored in the URL. By copying this URL, you can easily share your current view with others.
You can also save your view as a bookmark in your browser. If you open or share the link later, the time period, sorting, and your chosen filters will all be restored exactly as they were when you saved the link.
Accessing the Function
To use and save your filter settings in Analytics, follow these steps:
Go to Analytics in the main menu. Open the view you want, such as Marketplaces, Portfolios, Campaigns, Ad Groups, Product Ads, or Search Terms. In each view, you can select custom filters and save or share your personalized view.
Settings & Options
- Add Filter: Use this option to select and apply additional filter criteria.
- Reset Filter: This button removes all active filters and returns to the default view.
- Copy URL: Clicking this button copies the link to your current Analytics view, including all selected filters, to your clipboard.
Limitations & Special Notes
Please note that not every filter is available in all views. If you use a filter in a view where it’s not supported, you will see an icon and the message “The filter is not applied in the current view.” Also, large sets of results may cause short loading times. To speed up the display, try narrowing your results with additional filters or a shorter analysis period.
