Introduction

With the filtering features in contentbird, you can efficiently search and analyze large amounts of content. Whether you want to focus on specific projects, content types, or strategic criteria—filters help you maintain a clear overview.


Explanation of the Feature

contentbird offers multiple filtering options that work on different levels:

  • global (system-wide)

  • within pipelines

  • in the analytics section

This allows you to narrow down results broadly or filter very precisely.


Usage and Approach

1. Global Project Filter (System-Wide)

📍 Location: Top left in the main menu via the filter icon

With the global filter, you can:

  • select a specific project

  • optionally choose a campaign

  • limit your entire view accordingly

Result:

  • You only see content, data, and analytics related to the selected project

  • New content can only be created within this project

👉 Ideal for:

  • agencies

  • multiple brands or countries

  • focused work during specific project phases


2. Filters in Pipelines

📍 Location: Content Pipeline, Content Ideas, Content Performance

Here, you can apply very granular filters:

Quick Filters

  • Status

  • Type

  • Responsible person

Advanced Filters (“More Filters”)

a) Content Attributes

  • Status

  • Publication date

  • Type

  • Language

  • Project

b) Strategic Criteria

  • Persona

  • Customer journey phase

  • Topic

  • Story

c) Custom Fields

  • e.g. product group, market, budget, effort

💡 Example:

  • Persona = Marketing Manager

  • Phase = Consideration

  • Type = Blog article

  • Product = CRM tool

👉 This allows you to find exactly the content you want to analyze or edit.

Tip:
Filters can be saved and reused at any time.


3. Filters in the Analytics Section

📍 Location: Analytics → Content Performance

  • same filtering logic as in the pipeline

  • additional time filters (e.g. last 30 days)

  • focus on published content

👉 Ideal for:

  • performance analysis

  • reporting

  • optimization decisions


Why Filters Are So Important

  • Clarity: You only see relevant content

  • Efficiency: Faster access to the data you need

  • Analysis: Targeted evaluation by strategy, project, or audience

  • Optimization: Content gaps and opportunities become visible

  • Focus: Meetings and reports stay structured and clear


Best Practices

  • Use the global filter to focus on specific projects

  • Work with saved filters for recurring tasks

  • Combine multiple criteria for precise results

  • Actively use filters in meetings and reporting


Conclusion

The filtering features in contentbird enable focused work and data-driven decision-making. They help you maintain clarity—even with large amounts of content—and allow you to manage your content strategy more effectively.
