Filter out web or app data

30/11/2019

Any data you send to a property automatically appears in all of your views unless you create and apply a filter that removes some data. This means that if you collect and send hits from a website and from a mobile app to one property, your web and app hits are reported together. All web and app data appear in all views associated with that property until you add a view filter to separate the data.
