Filters, dimensions and events
FastPix Video Data gives you a set of 56 dimensions that serve as filters for slicing and dicing your data. These dimensions allow you to customize your analysis, enabling you to gain deeper insights into your metrics. By applying these filters, you can segment your data based on various criteria, such as user behavior, geographic location, time periods, and more. This flexibility empowers you to explore trends, identify patterns, and make informed decisions based on your specific analytical needs.
