How to create URCHIN Filters

[webguru]

As an example, I pose the following case:

Say you're building a website under Windows IIS and have several test scripts that you've coded. Now that you're ready to launch the Web site, you want to exclude or filter out all the files that were used for testing purposes.

Lets say you have the following test scripts that you were using and now want to filter out of the URCHIN reports:

1. index_test.html
   
2. contact_us_test04.html
   
3. register_beta_01.php
   
4. sample_junk.html
   

To exclude files/web pages from URCHIN reports, do the following:

1. Click on Configuration -> Filter Manager
   
2. On the top right, Click Add (+ icon)
   
3. For Filter Name, enter an appropriate name, e.g "exclude test"
   
4. For Filter Type, select Exclude Pattern
   
5. For Filter Field, select cs_uristem (RAW)
   
6. For Filter Pattern, enter (test)+|(beta)+|(junk\.html)+
   
7. For Case Sensitive, select No
   
8. Click Done
   
9. Click More Options
   
10. Select the the profiles you want to filter out listed under "Available Profiles" column and move them over to the "Applied To" column.
    
11. Click Update
