Event Definition Filters

Event definition filters give you a way to narrow down your event definitions. You can limit event definitions to a specific page, a specific domain, or a number of other options.

Supported Properties

Freshpaint allows you to create filters on the following properties:

Property	Description
Browser	The name of the browser the event occurred in.
Device ID	The ID of the device that generated the event.
Domain	The domain the event occurred on.
Href	For events that are clicks on links, the URL to where the link goes.
Full URL	The full URL of the event, including the domain name.
Path	The portion of the URL that comes after the domain for where the event occurred.
IP	The IP address that triggered the event.
Target Text	For events that are clicks, the text of the element that was clicked on.
User ID	The user_id if identify() has previously been called for this user.

Supported Filters

Freshpaint allows you to filter the above properties with the following filters:

Filter	Description
Contains	Contains checks that the property value contain the given string of characters. As an example, the value freshpaint contains the string paint.
Does not contain	Allows you to search for property values that do not contain the given string of characters.
Matches	Matches allows you to use * to match any string of characters. This allows you to match certain URL patterns. As an example, the URL pattern /docs/*/page/* will match both the property values /docs/directory1/page/abc and /docs/directory2/page/123.
Does not match	Allows you to search for values that do not match any string of characters.
Equals	Equals checks that the property value is the same as the provided string.
Does not equal	Checks that the property value is not the same as the provided string.
Any of	This will match on any of the values selected for a given property, granting the ability to do some simple OR logic within a given property. This matches with the same wildcard * matching logic as the Matches type Filter described above.
