2. In the next step you can choose which **Data to Include**. To get started, add `thisApp` as well as the respective App ID. Additionally, it is recommended to add a filter to **avoid that parts of your own website are returned by the query**.
To acchieve that add a `regex` filter with dimension `referrer` and domain as well as top-level-domain of your website separated by a `\`: `referrer~yourDomain\.com`.
Please be aware that this is a rather basic regex filter as the purpose here is to show the creation of the query. More elements can be added to the filter of course.
Once you have entered the information for the filter click on the field again and select `Negate (Wrap in "not" condition)`

Additionally, feel free to add further `regex` filters in case you want to exclude search engines as referrers for example. To use multiple (regex) filters use an `and` filter where you had just selected `Negate (Wrap in "not" condition)`.

4. The following section are **topN Options**. In the first part regarding the dimension, select type `default` and type in `referrer` two times. Furthermore, choose a `numeric` metric and add `count`. To wrap this section up choose the number of topN results to be returned, i.e. the threshold.
