Insights reports for Payment Protection include grouping and filtering capabilities. These report customizations enable flexibility and precision when analyzing trends within the data that a trust and safety organization deals with day to day. Fraud managers and business analysts can dig even deeper into the segments of their businesses to reveal outliers and patterns of interest.
Groups allow you to gather data into groups of attributes so that you can see how segments compare and contrast. You can group signal details related to address and location, billing, business unit, merchant, and chargebacks as well.
Filters allow you to focus your attention on specific signals in Insights reports such as details related to address and location, billing, business unit, merchant, and chargebacks.
Groups and filters can co-exist in reports to provide a depth of analytical insight into the specifics of your business.
