Efficient filter monitoring requires keeping only necessary filters and removing unnecessary ones. This approach maintains a concise filter list, allowing Pulse users to locate and use relevant filters quickly.
Note: Easily manage large numbers of filters using the bulk_filters API. For more details, see Bulk Filters API at https://developer.conviva.com.

Click on the Settings icon and select Filter Management.
The Filter Management screen categorically displays all filters, with options to reorder the filters by clicking any column heading.
For example:
Sort by Created On to see filters based on the day it was created.

Editing Filters
Understand the potential impact of any changes before editing a filter.
Changing the name or category of a filter does not affect the data already collected. However, any other changes impact how future data is collected.
For example, removing the flag for Top Rising Content removes the ability to use those filters on that dashboard.
To edit a filter:
In the filter Management screen, click the Kebab icon next to the desired filter and select Edit from the drop-down.
