Filters allow you to see only specific groups of visitors on Site Monitor. Such groups can be existing customers, visitors having some items in their shopping cart, visitors browsing a specific area of your website, etc.

Manage your filters via Main Menu->Tools->System settings->Filters. Sales-n-Stats provides you with a set of preconfigured filters (refer to the 'Filters' section) to use for effective work with visitors. Modify and delete these filters if necessary. If the preconfigured filters do not meet your requirements, create your own filters.

1.Go to the System settings->Filters section.
2.Right-click on the empty space in the 'Filters' section and select 'New filter', or click Add. An input box will appear.
