Feature filter options

@himabindu_nemagadda Here are some tips that might come in handy…

• You can quickly select a large number of Features or even multiple Modules (includes any/all child Features and sub-Modules) with this filtering option and they will be queried with an “OR” condition.  I do not find it very difficult to use this filtering option, but you definitely do need to know what Features and/or Modules are of interest.

• To filter for users that did not use a certain Feature and/or Module, just use Number of times used is “0” with the “anytime” option.  See below: 

• I do like the idea of possibly adding “Any Features” and “All Features” as an option here so that one can pick all the Features in the same criteria text box.  Currently, the only way to do this is to use separate Feature criteria rules and switching the main query operator to “OR” for “Any Feature” and leaving it as “AND” for “All Features”.

• Lastly, some queries need to be complex to get the proper insights.  So, if you plan to reuse the same criteria be sure to save the filter as a “My Filters” so it can be quickly applied to most all of the other Analytics filtering options in PX.  This is a real timesaver for sure!

Thanks for the tips @link_black, recently we were trying to include all the features in a filter, but there are few hundreds of features configured hence it was very difficult to add everything to the filter. Then We selected modules, but there were about 30 to 40 modules (including nested modules). In this scenario applying filter on ‘Any feature’ would be a time saver.

Use case for us to try this is, customer reported an issue on discrepancy between active users count in PX and CS. In PX active users are the users who all are identified during the time period selected, where as in CS it is calculated based on daily time series data. To match the counts we want to apply filters on features in Active users widget of dashboard and see if counts are matching.

Also if we want to know the users without feature information then there is no way to do that.

Using the “Modules” option is easier and one only needs to pick the highest level Module for the filter. 

CS should have access to the “lastSeenDate” PX User attribute as well every PX Users’ “# of Sessions” and “Page Views” counts on a daily basis, so these can be used to determine “Active” users in CS as opposed to using only Feature events. 

@link_black  - Yes we selected highest level modules only. Since there are many nested modules we need to be careful while navigating and selecting to make sure we are not missing any module.

Last seen date is a string field in CS and that is causing issue while applying filters. I am working on that with AE team parallelly. But meanwhile  to reconcile the counts with customers we tried to use filters in the dashboard and thought it would be nice to have more filter options.

@himabindu_nemagadda I agree that more options will help, which is why I upvoted this! :)
