When you [create Insights reports](https://community.acquia.com/acquiadam/s/article/How-do-I-create-an-Insights-report), you can add filters to narrow results in the report. For portal page views reports, the default date range is the last 30 days, but you can filter up to 3 years of data.

![portal-filter](https://acquia.widen.net/content/d9f4554e-035f-445e-8c9f-0a6e95c418da/web/7158e_portal-filters_1.png)

The filters available for reports on **downloads** are asset group, category, city, collections, country, file format, file type, intended use, metadata type, portal, source, state or region, user, and user role.  
  
The filters available for reports on **logins** are city, country, login type, state or region, user, and user role.  
  
The filters available for reports on **searches** are city, country, search category, source, search name, search result count, search type, state or region, user, and user role.

The filters available for reports on **shares** are city, country, shared by, share recipient, and state or region.

The filters available for reports on **collection shares** are country, share recipient, shared by, state/region and date range (up to 3 years).

The filters available for reports on **uploads** are asset group, category, city, collection, country, file format, file type, metadata type, state or region, upload profile, upload source, user, and user role.

Filter

Description

Asset group

Asset group you have permission to view. For example, Marketing or Sales.  
  
Note that your report and the asset group filters you apply will be viewable by any Insights user, regardless of their asset group permissions. 

Category

Non-deleted categories in DAM, which are listed alphabetically with a flattened hierarchy for selection. Multiple categories can be selected using the OR logic to refine report results.

City

Collection

Global collection in DAM.   
  
Note that it can take up to one day for data to update after you add or remove assets from collections.

Applying filter types and values
--------------------------------

For most filters, you can select one or multiple values from a list of options.  
  
When you select multiple values for a single filter, OR logic is applied. For example, if you choose image and video for the file type filter, your report will include data for assets that are images or videos.   
 

![file type fiter](https://acquia.widen.net/content/61a58446-64aa-4435-9a79-0f57fc3a3b2f/web/ka0Pb0000006snJ00N6g00000WDN1a0EM6g000005MUuR.png)

  
When you combine multiple filter types, AND logic is applied and both criteria must be met. For example, if you choose image for the file type filter and portals for the source filter, your report will include data for assets that are images in portals.   
 

![file type and source filters](https://acquia.widen.net/content/dfd42765-dfba-43de-b4b0-6046aebff939/web/ka0Pb0000006snJ00N6g00000WDN1a0EM6g000005MUul.png)

  
For the search result count filter, you select from three operators – equals, greater than, and less than – and enter a numeric value. This filter can be used to find out which search terms return no results (select **Equals** and enter 0) or search terms that return too many results (select **Greater than** and enter a large value like 1,000). 

![equal zero filter setup](https://acquia.widen.net/content/9f8b7407-da2a-467b-9980-7eff24a960ef/web/ka0Pb0000006snJ00N6g00000WDN1a0EMPb0000049JAo.png)

  
Note that it is possible to select filter values, like PDFs, even if there are none in your DAM yet. In this scenario, your report would return zero results and no data.   
  
Once an Insights report is created, you can [view data in charts](How-do-I-view-and-export-data-in-reports) and [export the data](How-do-I-export-data-in-reports).
