Filtering Stats

Customize HelpDocs stats with our many filters: date, categories, articles, users, groups, sources, IPs, and languages.

By default we show all HelpDocs analytics at once in the dashboard. That gives you a great high-level overview of how your docs are performing. But sometimes you wanna get more granular ๐Ÿ”

If you look at the top right of the Stats box you'll see a Filter icon. Clicking that will take you to a page that lets you choose a custom date period and filter stats in various ways.

Any graphs or CSV exports you see in the Stats tab will reflect your current set of filters.

Filtering by Time Period

When analyzing your Knowledge Base performance, you can quickly filter data by specific time frames to identify trends or measure impact of content changes.

The image shows a set of buttons labeled Week, Month, Quarter, and 6 Monthsโ€”along with a filter iconโ€”allowing you to select a specific time range to view data within HelpDocs.
  1. Head to Stats
  2. In the top right, choose from predefined periods (week, month, quarter, or six months)
    The availability of certain time periods depends on your HelpDocs plan. For full details on what's available with each subscription level, check out https://www.helpdocs.io/pricing
