Filtering for Pagination

Updated over 7 months ago

Overview

Segmenting for pagination is useful when you want to filter your data that may be irrelevant to pages not first in your listing pages. Identifying your first and subsequent listing pages in your project segmentation ensures you only receive recommendations and alerts for applicable pages.

Identifying Pagination

To segment your listing pages for pagination:

  1. Create or update your project segmentation to include the p1 and p+ flag where p1 is the first listing page, and p+ is all other listing pages:
    ​

    @pagination
    path /l/*
    path rx _([0-9]+).html$
    flag p+

    @list
    path /l/*
    flag p1


    Relevant recommendations and alerts will exclude p+ pages starting the day after you update the segmentation.
    ​

  2. Add page qualifiers to identify pages by their purpose.

More Relevant Recommendations and Alerts

The following ActionBoard recommendations and AlertPanel alerts are filtered to exclude pages identified in your project segmentation as paginated (p+) since the actions are only relevant to the first page in a listing (p1), home pages, detail pages, etc.:

ActionBoard Recommendations

👉 Recommended actions based on crawls before 13 January 2025 will not be filtered for pagination. Rerun these crawls after updating your segmentation to view filtered results.

👉 Alerts on or after 23 January 2025 will be recomputed to filter p+ pages after updating the segmentation. Alerts before this date will not be recomputed, which may show an inconsistency in trends. For these past alerts, click the "Investigate in AlertPanel Explorer" link to display the URL list with p+ pages filtered out.
