Q3 What are Google Analytics views and filters and how to use them? #vcbuzz
#VCBuzz A3.
GA Views are data-sets.
GA comes with one by default (the main/complete one)
You should create and work with a copy of that (not the original!)
GA Filters can be applied to views, and alter what they contain.
Again - do NOT apply a filter to the default View!

This is something I see all too often. Filters are FOREVER ('til you turn 'em off). Always set-up a separate 'Sandbox' View to test things in; and a 'Raw Data' view with NO filters on... just in case. Then your 'Reporting' view for when your sandbox ideas work.

Personally, as with several other bits to GA - I do Not understand why they make it that way. The default View should be protected. If you try to apply any filters etc., it should automatically create a clone, or point to an existing view.

#VCBuzz A3.2. Why have different views? Because sometimes it's easier/simpler to have a smaller, focused set of data. Think about if you have a main site and a blog site. Though you have them as the same property - you can "view" each separately. -
#VCBuzz A3.3. But it is important to remember that Filters and Views alter the data - permanently!!! This is why you MUST create a new view and apply filters to that. There is no Undo. There is no "remove and revert". :(
