Filter and Aggregate Data in Unified Analytics Boards

You can use filters and time aggregation in Unified Analytics to narrow results and analyze trends over time. This helps you focus on the metrics that matter.

For example, you can analyze all collected mentions from a specific platform and analyze all positive sentiment in Listening, or save your filter configuration as a view (refer to: Create a Saved View).

Filters and time aggregation are available only on selected boards.
Filtering options depend on the board, selected profiles, and the social network.

Filter data on a board

Open Unified Analytics.
Open a board that supports filtering.
In the controls bar, click Filter.
Select one or more filters.
Click Show results.

Aggregate data by time period

Filters and time aggregation are available in the controls bar and can be used in:

Overview mode
Profile vs. Profile mode
Multicomparison mode (if available on the board)

You can use time aggregation to display results by a specific time interval. For example, to review performance trends, you can aggregate data by week for the last three months.

To aggregate data by time period:

Open a board that supports time aggregation.
In the controls bar, open the time aggregation control.
Select an interval:
- Day
- Week
- Month
- Quarter
- Year

Review, remove, or save filters

After you apply filters, you can review them under the controls bar.

Turn off individual filters as needed.
Click Reset to remove all filters.
If your board supports views, click Save as view to save the setup. For more information, refer to: Create a Saved View.

Filter behavior by widget type

Filters are applied only to widgets that show post-level data. As a result:

If a board includes profile-level widgets, those widgets do not change when you apply filters.
If a board contains only profile-level widgets, filtering is not available.
If a board contains both post-level and profile-level widgets, filtering affects only post-level widgets.
