SmarterStats allows users to create filter sets which will limit the return values of their reports. By using filter sets, reports will only include the data you need, in turn, making them easier to analyze.

Users can specify inverse filters by inserting a exclamation mark (!) at the beginning of a filter set. Inverse filters are especially helpful if you only want the data from a specific directory or resource.

With automated diagnostics, users can now have the peace-of-mind that SmarterStats is running efficiently. This automated feature checks the application and assures that all areas are performing correctly and that they are not any corrupted files.
