How are filters used within MerchantSpring dashboards?

Filters in MerchantSpring dashboards allow users to refine reports and focus on specific subsets of data. By applying filters, users can isolate particular products, marketplaces, date ranges, or other dimensions to better understand performance trends.

Filtering is an essential part of analysing marketplace data because it allows businesses to move beyond high-level summaries and explore more detailed insights.

MerchantSpring dashboards are designed to support flexible filtering so users can adjust reports to answer specific operational or strategic questions.

Common Filter Types

MerchantSpring dashboards may include several types of filters depending on the report being viewed.

Date Range Filters

Date filters allow users to analyse performance over specific time periods, such as:

• daily performance

• weekly trends

• monthly reporting

• custom date ranges

Date filtering is often the first step in analysing performance trends.

Channel Filters

If multiple marketplaces or channels are connected, channel filters allow users to view performance for a specific marketplace.

For example:

• Amazon US

• Amazon UK

• other connected channels

This helps isolate performance by region or platform.

Product Filters

Product filters allow users to focus on specific items within their catalog.

These filters may include:

• ASIN

• SKU

• product name

This allows users to analyse individual product performance.

Campaign or Advertising Filters

Advertising reports may allow filtering by campaign or advertising group to evaluate marketing performance.

How to Apply Filters

1. Navigate to the relevant dashboard or report.
2. Locate the filter controls at the top or side of the report.
3. Select the desired filter values.
4. Apply the filter to update the dashboard.

The report will refresh to display the filtered data.

Notes: 

• Filters can often be combined to create more detailed views.
• Some reports may allow saving filter configurations.
• Resetting filters will restore the default dashboard view.
