Activity 4.2 - Understanding your account structure
1. Using the test account you created in lesson 4.1, follow the instructions below to create new
properties and views for the account. Then, complete the questions that follow to review what you
learned in this lesson.
When you created your test account, your first default property was automatically created. Now
you will edit your account structure to include additional properties and views. Your account should
be set up to collect your website data separately from your mobile app data and each property you
create should have a minimum of three views.
When you’re finished editing your account, the structure should look as follows:
2. How many properties in total do you now have in your test account?
4
5
3. How many views in total do you now have in your test account?
4. Which of the following best represents the hierarchical structure of a Google Analytics
account from top to bottom?

Property → Account → View

Account → Property → View

When a new view is created, it will show the historical data from the first view you created
for the property.
Activity 4.3 - Setting up basic filters

filters to your report views. Then, complete the questions that follow to review what you learned in
this lesson.
Create a filter for the view "2 - [Link] (test view)" that would prevent traffic from
the following IP address from showing in the report view: [Link]
When you’re done creating the filter for the test view, apply the same filter to the view "1 -
[Link] (master view)."
2. Which of the following is the correct way to set up the IP address filter described above?
Create a Predefined filter excluding traffic from the IP addresses that begin with
193.88.222
Create a Predefined filter excluding traffic from the IP address that is equal to [Link]
Create a Predefined filter including traffic from the IP address that is equal to [Link]
Create a Predefined filter excluding traffic from the ISP domain that is equal to
[Link]
3. True or False: The order in which filters appear in your settings matters.
True. Filters are executed in the order in which they appear
False. Google Analytics does not take filter order into account
4. Why is it important that you maintain one unfiltered view when using filters with your
analytics account?
Without one unfiltered profile, you will not be able to use a filter for multiple views
You can only use predefined filters with unfiltered views
There is no reason to maintain an unfiltered view
Since raw data cannot be reprocessed, maintaining an unfiltered view ensures that the
original data can always be accessed
