# How to segment ShortPen data by folders and tags 

> Segment ShortPen analytics by folders and tags to compare campaigns, clients, or channels with precise filters.

**Short answer:** go to **Analytics**, open **Filter**, then choose **Folder** or **Tag** (you can combine multiple filters). Charts and tables will update to display only the selected groups, allowing you to compare campaigns, clients, or categories.

<Tip>
  \*\*Filters \*\*are available on [paid plans](/account-billing-security/plans-and-limits/plans-and-limits).

## How to segment data: Steps

<Steps>
  <Step titleSize="h3" title="1. Segment by Folder">
    1. Open **Analytics**.
    2. Click **Filter → Folder** and select one or more folders (e.g., Client A, Q4 Launch).
    3. Review charts and breakdown tables. All values now reflect only the selected folder.

  </Step>

  <Step titleSize="h3" title="2. Segment by Tag">
    1. In the same view, click **Filter → Tag**.
    2. Pick one or more tags (e.g., Facebook, Email, Black-Friday).
    3. Compare channels/campaigns in the **Tags** table and across all breakdowns.

    ***
  </Step>

  <Step titleSize="h3" title="3. Combine filters for precise cohorts">
    Apply **multiple filters at once** (e.g., Folder: Client A + Tag: Facebook + Device: Mobile + Country: US). Use the date range to keep comparisons fair.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I apply Folder/Tag filters to a single link">
    No. Folder/Tag filters exist only in Workspace Analytics. [Single Link Analytics](/analytics/link-level-analytics/link-level-metrics) has its own per-link filters (event, country, device, etc.).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many Folders and Tags can a link have">
    One Folder, but **multiple Tags**. This lets you keep ownership clear while slicing data in many ways.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I see performance by Tag">
    In **Analytics** → **Workspace**, use **Filter** → **Tag** and check the **Tags** table (clicks, scans, leads, %CR).
  </Accordion>
