Dimension Filters - Using Dimension Filters in a DCM/DFA datastream

In DCM, Dimension filters enable you to retrieve a list of report dimension values for a list of filters.

Here is an exhaustive list of all DCM/DFA dimensions, metrics and filters.

When using Dimension filtering, it is necessary to enter a valid JSON expression. If the JSON expression isn't correct, the following Fetch error message will be displayed: 'dict' object has no attribute 'extend'.

In Datastream settings, Configuration tab, the JSON expression should be entered in the text box Dimension Filters:

{
  "kind": "dfareporting#dimensionValue",
  "dimensionName": string,
  "value": string,
  "id": string,
  "matchType": string
}

Example #1: Filter to retrieve two specific ActivityIDs from one specific Site (DCM):

[
 {
 "dimensionName": "dfa:activityId",
 "kind": "dfareporting#dimensionFilter",
 "value": "8069163"
 },
 
{
 "dimensionName": "dfa:activityId",
 "kind": "dfareporting#dimensionFilter",
 "value": "8067471"
 },

{
 "dimensionName": "dfa:site",
 "kind": "dfareporting#dimensionFilter",
 "id": "5147781",
 "value": "Adverity"
 }
]
