Filter by space (type at least two characters of your space name)
Filter by space status (current vs. archived spaces)
Filter by content type (page vs. blog post)
Filter by source; see Source Tracking
Filter by user’s login type: Select “Logged in Users” or “Anonymous Users”
Checkbox to exclude personal spaces

Screenshot: Filters available for the Global Report Overview

You can use CQL to perform advanced searching. To do so, click on the "Filters" button and enter a valid CQL query. Atlassian's documentation explains CQL.

For example, filter for pages edited by user "Edmond."”

Info on CQL Filter

To avoid performance problems, the CQL filter will only work for a maximum of 10,000 results.
The filter(s) will also be present in the Export.

Changing the date range and graph type

By default, data from the last 30 days are displayed. You can change that by clicking into the date field and selecting a different date range. All metrics will adapt automatically.
You can group the metrics in the graph by using “Group by” days (default), weeks, months, or years and display then in a Line (default), Bar or Area charts.

Choosing which metrics to display in the graph

Below the graph, there is a drop-down menu listing the available metrics. By default, “Views”, “Creations” and “Edits” are selected.

Selected metrics will appear automatically in the graph, and the metric selection will be remembered the next time you access the report; the selected metrics will be displayed in the graph.
