How to get reports for just a specific category?

I want to pull reports for just one category. How to do?

Many of the reports that are on your /admin/dashboard/reports page allow the results to be filtered by category. The reports that can be filtered by category will have a category dropdown menu that defaults to “All categories.” You can select a specific category from the dropdown to get results for a single category:

Great reply. Which reports allow for the category filter?

[simon]

There’s no easy way to query the database to see which reports have a category filter. If there are reports that don’t have a category filter that you think should include the filter, let us know.

One thing to note about the reports is that they are intended to provide data that will be useful for most sites. If you have specific requirements for data that is not being returned by the dashboard reports, you can use the Data Explorer plugin to get the data.

I want to be able to get insights into categories (subsets) as much as I can for the overall community (macro). As above, so below. That’s the need. So anything you can see for the whole community you should be able to see for a subset.

I’m a little perplexed as to how to reply more constructively. This is a meta I expected to exist and feel a little confused that it might not.

Surely people need to do this all the time?

Je cherchais cela aussi - j’ai une catégorie pour les discussions en espagnol et mon facilitateur est curieux de savoir qui lit le contenu.

La seule façon de savoir quels rapports ont des filtres par catégorie est de cliquer sur chacun d’eux - jusqu’à présent, j’ai trouvé que ceux qui ont cette fonctionnalité incluent :

• Messages
• Modifications de messages
• Signets
• J’aime

par exemple, toutes les choses que les utilisateurs font pour interagir avec un message. Je ne trouve rien qui me permette de comprendre le trafic au sein d’une catégorie.

Je vais ajouter mon grain de sel. J’aimerais soit le voir dans le tableau de bord par défaut, soit pouvoir créer le mien aux niveaux macro/micro également.
