If you want to exclude items with special text, you can set up filter sets with the following GUIDs. Simply add the text string below that corresponds to the item you want to exclude.

  • Bots/spiders: 41406E01F8614e7eB2AE456551D96204
  • Unknown browsers: 32AAA9623EC348afB5AF8ECE5B7D452D

  • No referrer: 21C077A7A4A14016825A775187E5D0D0

For example, if you want to use a filter set to exclude bots, you would follow these steps:

  1. Log in as the user. Then go to Settings -> My Filter Sets and click Add Filter Set.
  2. On the next screen, enter "Exclude Bots" for the name. In the filter's text area, paste: 41406E01F8614e7eB2AE456551D96204.
  3. Click Save.
  4. To view the report, click the Filter Set Menu on the right and choose Exclude Bots. Then click Get Report. Any references to bots or spiders should not be included in the report.
