How to use
Dimension
Click the advanced filter icon (represented by the triangle icon) to open the advanced filter tabs.
You will then see the tabs for dimensions, metrics, tops, and saved filters.
In the Dimensions tab, you can use a drop-down field to include, exclude or split the desired dimension:
If you want to filter out specific data from your current dataset, you can exclude the dimension, such as Country>United Kingdom.
If you want to include specific data in the currently displayed dataset, you can include the dimension, such as Country>United Kingdom.
To compare two dimensions, you can split two dimensions, such as the Country>United Kingdom and Country>United States dimensions. The dashboard will then show the data from each country separately.
To create a filter for dimension, select a parameter:
After selecting the parameter, choose the desired predefined property and click "Add to Parameter":
Apply the dimension.

Other filter
In addition to the metrics and dimensions tabs, there are also the Tops and Saved Filters tabs.
With the tops filter, you can view and filter data by rank.
Tops filter
To use the Tops filter, you must first create a widget:
Select the type of Top you want to create:
Top Table: The information in displayed in a table with the corresponding figures.
Top Bar: The information is displayed in bars with the corresponding data.
Top Pie: The information is displayed in a pie chart with the corresponding data.

Once you have selected the type of graph, you can start configuring your top:
Specify the number of entries you want the top to show.
Specify how you want the data to be grouped by in the Group by drop-down menu.
Specify how you want the data to be sorted in the Sort by drop down menu.
Include the metrics that you want to apply to the top.
For instance, you can view the Top 5 titles and playtime to understand your content performance.
In this manner, you will know which of those titles present more errors:
Once you are done with entering the data you want to be displayed on the top, click Apply. You can also clone the widget and work on cloned copies by modifying its timespan, allowing you to see the improvement of your system’s error management.
