Filters

Sealmetrics provides two types of filters: global filters that apply across all reports, and local filters specific to individual tables.

Global Filters (Segment)

Global filters are configured from the Segment panel in the filter bar below the header. They affect all report pages.

Accessing Global Filters

1. Click Segment in the filter bar
2. Choose values in the available filter sections
3. Click Apply Segment
4. The selected filters apply across all reports

Available Global Filters

The Segment panel offers two filter categories: Geography and Devices.

Geography

Filter	Options	Description
Countries	Multi-select list	Filter by visitor country

Example: Select Spain and Portugal to see only traffic from the Iberian Peninsula.

Devices

Filter	Options	Description
Device Type	Desktop, Mobile, Tablet	Filter by device category
Browser	Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera	Filter by browser
Operating System	Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux	Filter by OS

Example: Select Mobile + iOS to see only iPhone/iPad traffic.

For filtering by traffic source (UTM source/medium/campaign) or by page path, use the per-table local filters described below.

Filter Bar Behavior

• Active filters appear as chips in the filter bar
• Click the X on a chip to remove that filter
• Multiple filters combine with AND logic
• Filters persist across reports until removed or cleared

Combining Filters

Filters combine with AND logic:

Filter 1	Filter 2	Result
Country = Spain	Device = Mobile	Spanish mobile visitors
Browser = Safari	Country = USA	US Safari users
OS = iOS	Country = Mexico	iPhone/iPad users in Mexico

Local Filters (Filter Builder)

Each table in reports has its own filter builder for granular filtering within that specific table.

Accessing Local Filters

1. Click the filter icon (funnel) above the table
2. The filter builder panel opens
3. Add filter conditions
4. Click Apply

Filter Builder Interface

Element	Description
Field dropdown	Select which column to filter
Operator dropdown	Select comparison operator
Value input	Enter the value to compare
Add button	Add another condition
Apply button	Apply all conditions
Clear button	Remove all conditions

Operators

Text Fields

Operator	Description	Example
contains	Field includes text	Path contains "product"
starts with	Field begins with text	Path starts with "/en/"
equals	Exact match	Source equals "google"
not equals	Does not match	Medium not equals "cpc"

Numeric Fields

Operator	Description	Example
equals	Exact value	Conversions equals 0
not equals	Different value	Entrances not equals 0
greater than	Above value	Pageviews greater than 1000
less than	Below value	Bounce Rate less than 50
greater than or equal	Value or above	Revenue >= 100
less than or equal	Value or below	Conv. Rate <= 5

Multiple Conditions

Add multiple conditions for complex filters:

Field	Operator	Value	Logic
Entrances	greater than	100	AND
Bounce Rate	less than	50	AND
Conversions	greater than	0	-

All conditions combine with AND logic.

Filter Builder by Report

Each report's tables expose their own filter fields — in the Sources report they are dimension-only (channel, source, medium, campaign, domain), while other reports may also offer metric fields. The authoritative field list for each report lives in its own page:

• Pages · Sources · Geography · Devices · Conversions

Segments

Save filter combinations for quick access.

Creating a Segment

1. Apply the desired global filters
2. Click Save Segment (or Save current as segment from the Segments dropdown)
3. Enter a name (and optional description and color)
4. Click Save Segment

Using Segments

1. Click the Segments dropdown in the filter bar
2. Select a saved segment
3. Filters apply immediately

Segment Examples

Segment Name	Filters
Mobile Spain	Country = Spain, Device = Mobile
US Safari	Country = United States, Browser = Safari
iOS Visitors	OS = iOS
German Desktop	Country = Germany, Device = Desktop

Managing Segments

1. Open the Segments dropdown
2. From each segment entry you can:
   • Apply the segment (click it)
   • Delete the segment (click the X)

Saved segments are stored in your browser. See Filter Persistence for details.

Filter Strategies

Performance Analysis

Find underperforming segments:

1. Filter: Entrances > 500 (significant traffic)
2. Filter: Bounce Rate > 70 (high bounce)
3. Result: High-traffic pages with engagement issues

Conversion Optimization

Find conversion opportunities:

1. Filter: Entrances > 200
2. Filter: Conversions = 0
3. Result: Popular pages not converting

Traffic Quality

Identify quality sources:

1. Filter: Entrances > 50
2. Filter: Conv. Rate > 3
3. Sort by Revenue
4. Result: High-performing traffic sources

Geographic Targeting

Analyze specific markets:

1. Global filter: Country = [target market]
2. Local filter: Conversions > 0
3. Result: Converting pages in target market

Filter Persistence

What Persists

Element	Behavior
Global filters	Persist across reports until cleared
Local filters	Reset when leaving the report
Segments	Saved until deleted
Date range	Persists across reports

How Persistence Works

Global filters and saved segments are stored locally in your browser (using localStorage), not in the page URL.

This means:

• Filters and segments are remembered when you return to Sealmetrics in the same browser, even after closing the tab
• They are not shared via the URL: copying or bookmarking a report link does not carry your active filters
• They are per browser and per device: filters set on your laptop will not appear on your phone or in another browser
• Clearing your browser data removes saved filters and segments

Best Practices

Use Global Filters For

• Segmenting by visitor attributes (country, device type, browser, OS)
• Consistent analysis across reports

Use Local Filters For

• Finding specific items in tables
• Threshold-based filtering (metrics above/below values)
• Detailed table exploration

Performance Tips

• Apply broad filters first (country, device)
• Then refine with specific filters
• Save common combinations as segments
• Clear filters before starting new analysis
