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.

 

Groups

To add a group, first select the Payment Protection Insight report you wish to analyze with groupings.

Click ‘+Add group’ to begin adding a new grouping. You will have the option to choose from various groups that are based on signals related to address and location, billing, business unit, and chargebacks.

Select the signal that best suits your needs for grouping the data – clicking the signal name will add the group and run the report with the new group.

You can add additional groups by clicking ‘+Add group’ for each additional group.

Pro Tip: When one signal is selected for grouping the graphics of the report, hovering over a specific point in time on the graph produces a hover box showing the legend at that point in time. The names of the signal grouping appear in this box along with the volume or value (whichever is selected) for those named signal groupings.
