Advanced Analytics: Filters and Conditions

This article details what Advanced Analytics filters and conditions.

Filters and conditions

Imagine you have a giant spreadsheet full of employee information. Filters and conditions are your tools to sift through that data and find the specific details you need.

Filters

Filters allow you to sort data based on specific criteria you set. Imagine a sieve that you can adjust the holes of. You define the rules (the hole size), and the filter lets through the data that fits those rules. This way, you can focus on a specific part of the data, like channels created by "Tim Smith", just like focusing on a particular grain size with the sieve.

Conditions

Conditions are the building blocks of your filter. Each condition specifies three things:

• Attribute – This is the property you want to filter by, such as:
  • Organization name
  • Department
  • Channel name
  • Channel visibility
  • Etc.
• Operator – This defines how you want to compare the attribute to a value
• These include:
  • Is or Is not – Is used for text-based conditions (e.g. manager)
  • Contains – Is used for addresses, as these are unstructured information, including what you choose to add as a second filter (e.g. country, state, postal code, street, etc.)
  • Equals, is more than or equal to, is less than or equal to – Is used for numbers (e.g. searching a Channel with 10-100 members)
  • Is, is before, is after, is between – Is used for dates
  • Value – This is the specific value you want in the chosen attribute. For example, "marketing," "developer," or the name "Tim Smith”
