Promotion status filter
Using the Promotion Status filter, you can choose between Promoted and Not Promoted to include or exclude Facebook or Instagram posts which have received paid impressions.
Note:
Currently this filter is only applicable to Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) content. Choosing Not Promoted will exclude promoted posts from these networks, but both promoted and organic content from other networks will still be included.
Post visibility filter
Choosing the Post Visibility filter allows you to view only Facebook and Instagram posts which are either dark, or else visible on your page’s timeline.
By default, dark posts with no reach will be excluded from your Content Performance widget. Using the Dark Visibility filter, you can choose to include those without reach.
Note:
Currently, this filter is only applicable to Facebook and Instagram content. Choosing Timeline will include timeline posts from Facebook and Instagram along with all posts from other networks. Choosing Dark will only include Facebook and Instagram dark posts.
Placement filter
With the Placement filter, you can narrow down your content to include only Instagram stories, IGTV posts, reels, or all timeline (page) posts from all networks.
Note:
Due to API restrictions, Facebook stories cannot be included in Measure dashboards. Choosing Story when adding a Placement filter will only display Instagram stories.
Ad account filter
Applying the Ad Account filter allows you to filter your widgets by Facebook promoted posts associated with a specific Facebook ad account you have connected to Advertise. When you apply the filter, you will have the option to search for your connected ad account.
Meta ad platform filter
With the Meta ad platform filter, you can analyze the performance of your paid activity in any of the platforms used when placing ads in Meta. These platforms are:
- Messenger

When a Meta ad platform or platforms are selected, the widget will return the list of posts placed in the selected platform(s) with only the paid metrics associated with them.

For the Meta ad platform filter to be enabled, you must meet the following requirements:
- Have a Meta ad account connected in Social Media Management
- Be an admin of that ad account

The Meta ad platform filter will only apply to the paid Facebook content metrics available in Measure.
