Hey heather, it's shane, um I'm looking at your issue about pulling posts that are uh tagged with security um and being able to see that in a quarterly or yearly view, and so I think we have that functionality in the dashboard that art is already here. um So I'm just gonna walk through what you can do here and then, um if this doesn't meet your needs, let's continue to follow up on the issue and then um we'll um yeah I'm happy to build on this. So I just wanna show you where we're at here.

A

So um first thing we can do. Is you know um this includes any uh page on the blog? That's tagged with security. So obviously um you have you know your release post, and so you can go here and you can say okay, so um you select for re. You know search for released and then you uncheck these pages here and they'll, be removed from the table that you're looking at here so and you can see how many pages are removed from the view you're looking at.

A

So that's how you can exclude the release post uh and then the second thing, as far as date range we're looking at so here you know it's very similar to uh you know any other date. Selector you just go in here um on this uh selector and then you go to you know, choose the date.

A

You want to start on on the left and the date you want to end on on the right, and so, let's just say we end on the 24th and now we're looking at not just last 30 days, but you know since the beginning of the calendar year um because of our you know our fiscal year and the fact that you know the quarters start in february the quarter alignment doesn't really match in any tool that I use uh google analytics. You know anything like that.

A

um Their their quarters are all you know, start in january and run on that regular. You know uh quarterly cadence. So for us um we have to go in and manually set those dates, um but you can, you know, set that to you know, run through a whole fiscal year. If you want to so you can look at. um You know you can go back to you know february uh and then we can say 2020., uh let's see here down there and then february 2020 and then say february 1.

A

And then you can go here and go back one month and you know select uh january 31st and apply.

A

And this shows you all the information around that so how many sessions were started average time on page the tags are listed here, so you can see those and then source medium. I'm not quite sure why I have this twice. It seems like what we could do is just um actually let's do this now.

A

If you don't like this, you can tell me I'll move it back, but I think what we can do is just move this up to the top and expand it so that it's easier to uh see you know more than say, 10 results. So let's do that now and then we'll we'll make this default to 20 instead of 10..

A

So let's see what that looks like yeah, that's great so view, and so now this will give you just uh you know a little bit better view of uh the posts that are tag security, what source medium they're coming from. So this tells you how people found the content, um whether that was you know organic search or email or any other source um that we have available um yeah. So that's just a quick overview. Please let me know what questions you have.

A

What else I can do to help you, you know, find the information you need to know about the security post happy to deliver that thanks.
