Use automatic data filters
Last updated
You can filter any app user data or actions they perform within your app. Once Filter is created it is updated automatically every 10 minutes OR as soon as the data pull request was sent.
Filters output the following data:
Aggregated data (record count, max, min value)
List of records which fall under Filter condition.
Each filter can be applied to events and users (objects) - both at the same time. For example: we have a clickable button and we have a filter which tracks those button clicks. And we have two app users, each clicked the button twice. In the Objects section, this filter will show the count of two (two app users clicked the button). In the Events section, this filter will show the count of four (total number of button click events is four).
