27. Understanding filter • Filtered queries restrict the rows that do (or do not) get included in the result • Supply a dimension or metric on which to filter • Each row in the result is tested against the filter • You can filter for a dimension or metric that is not part of your query

28. Understanding segments • Segments let you isolate and analyze subsets of visits and users • Visit data is confined to user behavior within a single visit • User data spans all visits within the date range you’re using, up to 90 days • You can create segments based on dimensions, metrics, visit date, and sequences of action • Cohorts (Date of First Visit option) are limited to maximum range of 31 days • Import Segments via Gallery

29. Understanding segments  Example: Specific users, all visits across a date range Filter users, no filters on visits Users whose cumulative revenue across all visits in a date range is greater than $1000 OR Only users who viewed a product page, then the shopping cart page, but not the confirmation page for having completed the order
