• Users can apply complex filtering logic
to their results by constructing a query
• A query is comprised of conditional
statements linked together by standard
boolean operators
{ AND | OR }
32. A Simple Example
• For example:
– Let’s say you need to assemble a
report for international site pages
https://ws.webtrends.com/v3/
Reporting/profiles/28197/reports/
oOEWQj3sUo6/?query=Page
NOTLIKE *com/
*&totals=all&start_period=current_
month-1&end_period=current_mon
th&period_type=agg&format=html
&suppress_error_codes=true
