Features
Dimensions
Report Central will use all your data by default. In some cases it makes more sense to filter certain dimensions to limit the amount of information in your report. You can do this by clicking on the filter button to the left of the dimension name. There are three kind of dimension filters: filters for exact matches, filters for pre-populated results and filters for the function equals and contains.
Filters For Exact Matches
Once you click on the filter button for filters with exact matches (e.g. Advertiser, Campaign, etc.), a new window will pop up. This window allows you to search for specific items. You can select items by clicking on the search results or select all search results by clicking on the button: ‘Select all items below’.
You can also select multiple items by entering the IDs in the box below the search results.
Filters For Pre-Populated Results
Once you click on the filter button for filters with pre-populated results (e.g. Browser, Date, etc), a new window will pop up. This window allows you to search and select the displayed items. You can select items by clicking on them or select all results by clicking on the button: 'Select all items below'.
Filters For The Function Equals and Contains
Once you click on the filter button for filter for the function equals and contains (e.g. Site Domain, Referrer URL, etc.), a new window will pop up. This window allows you to select either Equals or Contains. Enter the data in the box and separate multiple entities by commas or new lines.
After you have made your selection, click ‘Set Filter’ to apply the filter to your report.
Even if you don't select a dimension to appear in the report, the filters you have set will still be applied.
Measures
In some cases, you may not want to see all of the data related to specific measures. You can set a minimum and maximum to limit the amount of visible data.
- Find the measure.
- Click on the '+'.
- Fill in minimum and/or maximum to limit the amount of data you want to display.
Even if you don't select a measure to appear in the report, the filters you have set will still be applied.

Charts

The system will automatically pick the most suitable graphic depending on the chosen dimensions and measures.
