Using filters for subdomain tracking

Discussion in 'Google Analytics' started by Ell, Dec 29, 2014.

    Hello,
    I am using analytics to track my site's traffic and I want to create new views that will allow me to track only specific sub-domains.
    for example, this is my site's domain http://t-n-t.co.il/ and I would like to create a filter that will monitor the traffic activity only on these three subdomains (and all of their subdomains as well, of course):
    http://t-n-t.co.il/boys/accessories/
    http://t-n-t.co.il/girls/dresses/
    http://t-n-t.co.il/boys/tshirts/


    I have read many manuals regarding this and I am quite confused on how these filters actually work, if anyone can give a helping hand it would be highly appreciated :)

    First of all, you need to get your definitions straight. Those are not subdomains. Those are folders under the domain (web) root.

    A subdomain is something like this:
     
    Regular domain: t-n-t.co.il or www.t-n-t.co.il
    Subdomain: boys.accessories.t-n-t.co.il
    
    Code (markup):
    Granted, www. is actually a "subdomain", but isn't really counted as that.

    yeah thanks for that I got confused, anyway,
    I found out how to make customized reports containing data from selected pages using regex, but I have another problem that I would like to solve.
    My company is attempting to send scheduled custom referral traffic reports to some of our affiliates and we would very much like to hide/remove the "% of total" values that are appended below visits and transactions so that our affiliates don't have to know what our total site visits and transactions are. I tried changing the report type from "explorer" to "flat table" but then I don't get the summary of all the pages that I need.
    here is a link to an image that better explains my question
