Source Filters

Source filters are applied to the data source fields to determine whether a data record will be included for
processing in the report. The statistics, metrics and output data of the report can only be generated from
source data that has passed through the source filters.
You should define source filters to specify what parts of the input data you are interested in.
The first source filter has a special property. When a report is run, the time range for the report is calculated
and is set as the minimum and maximum values for the range of the first source filter. This allows the time
range for a particular report to be easily specified when a report is run (for example, by selecting the "last
month" option for the report range). When running a report, you can also select specific date and time
values for the start and end of the report, which will become the minimum and maximum values for the first
source filter.
You should ensure that the first source filter is applied to a time field, in order to maintain this expected
behavior of the report.
The remaining source filters are ordered, which means these filters will always be applied in the same order
to each data record.
You can reorder the filters to obtain precise control over exactly which data will be included in the report.
Source filters are of three basic kinds:
Range filters check to see if the data value falls within a certain range.

Match filters check if the data value matches a particular condition, which could be a regular

expression or other match value.
List filters check to see if the data value is found in a list.

As one of the selected fields is a date/time field, this is automatically set as the first source filter for you.
