When you’re trying to understand and analyze your traffic, the **Filter** button is a powerful tool. It allows you to search, select multiple entries and it includes options "is", "is not", "contains" and "does not contain" to give you more flexibility when matching and segmenting your audience. Click on the **Filter** button on the top right of your dashboard to start adding filters.
When you’re trying to understand and analyze your traffic, the **Filter** button gives you more control. Click it and choose a dimension such as **Page**, **Source**, **Location** or **Goal**. Some dimensions are grouped in submenus. For example, **Page** contains **Page**, **Entry page** and **Exit page**.

Choosing a dimension adds a filter pill and opens its value list. Search for a value or select multiple values from the list. Changes apply immediately, so there is no separate apply step. Click **Done** or click outside the list when you are finished.

To change how values are matched, click the operator in the filter pill. Depending on the dimension, you can choose "is", "is not", "contains" or "does not contain".
