Create a section with a URL prefix or regex — that's it. The filtered reports appear automatically.

03

Feels like core Matomo

Same hierarchical tables, subtables and exports you already know — just scoped to the section you care about.

Frequently asked questions

Users with WRITE permission on the site manage sections; everyone with view access sees the filtered reports.

Both. Simple prefixes cover most cases; full regular expressions are there when you need precision.

No — it generates filtered views of the core reports. Nothing is tracked twice.
