๐Ÿงฉ How to Use Filters and Segmentation for Better Reporting in Pipedrive

Get clear, actionable insights by narrowing your focus with filters and segments.

In Pipedrive, filters and segmentation allow you to customize how data is displayed in your reports, helping you focus on the most relevant deals, contacts, activities, or results. By applying smart filters, you can uncover patterns, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions faster.


๐Ÿงญ Why Filters & Segmentation Matter

Using filters effectively allows you to:

  • Slice data by team, owner, status, timeframe, and more
  • Create hyper-focused reports for pipeline stages, lead sources, or products
  • Personalize dashboards for reps, managers, or execs
  • Simplify complex datasets into actionable views

๐Ÿ” Where Filters Are Used in Pipedrive

AreaPurpose
List View (Deals, Contacts, Activities)Custom data views
Reports (Insights)Build detailed, filtered reports
DashboardsPresent filtered KPIs
Goals & AutomationsApply rules to specific segments

๐Ÿ›  Types of Filters You Can Apply

Filter TypeExample
Owner/UserShow deals owned by a specific rep
StatusOnly show won, lost, or open deals
TimeframeDeals created this month or quarter
Pipeline/StageFocus on a single pipeline or stage
Deal Value/ProbabilityFocus on high-value or high-likelihood deals
Custom FieldsSegment by region, lead source, product, etc.

๐Ÿง  Tip: Custom fields are especially powerful for advanced segmentation (e.g., โ€œIndustry = SaaSโ€).

๐Ÿ“‹ How to Create a Filtered Report (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Go to Insights

From the left-hand navigation menu, click on Insights.

Step 2: Click + Add New > Report

Choose your report type (e.g., Deals, Activities, Revenue).

Step 3: Click Filter at the top of the report

Apply filters such as:

  • Owner
  • Deal status
  • Expected close date
  • Custom tags (like โ€œHigh Priorityโ€ or โ€œWebinar Leadโ€)

Step 4: Group & visualize your data

Use options like:

  • Group by: Owner, stage, source, product
  • View as: Bar chart, line graph, table, funnel

๐ŸŽฏ Using Filters in List View

Navigate to Deals, Contacts, or Activities, then:

  1. Click the Filter dropdown in the top left
  2. Use default filters or create your own
  3. Save filters for quick access later

๐Ÿท Example: โ€œAll open deals in North America above $10,000โ€


๐Ÿ“ˆ Segmenting Data in Dashboards

To build a segmented dashboard:

  1. Go to Insights > Dashboards
  2. Create widgets based on reports with specific filters
  3. Name each widget clearly (e.g., โ€œClosed Deals – Enterprise Clientsโ€)

This allows stakeholders to monitor specific parts of the business (e.g., reps, regions, verticals) in real time.
