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 🔍

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.
