### Consolidation of sources

UTM tags are case sensitive. This may result in the traffic sources being badly categorized. To help reduce this issue, in the "**Sources**" tab of the "**Top Sources**" report, each source is consolidated into a single entry regardless of capitalization stemming from UTM tagging differences.
UTM tags are case sensitive which may lead to traffic sources being duplicated or miscategorized. To mitigate this issue, the "**Sources**" tab in the "**Top Sources**" report consolidates each source into a single entry, disregarding capitalization or naming differences in UTM tags.

For instance, clicks that you get from Facebook which are not tagged by UTMs are labeled with a referral source "**Facebook**" by Facebook itself. If you tag some links that you share on Facebook with the utm_source=facebook, utm_source=fb or utm_source=facebook-ads, clicks on those links will be consolidated alongside other Facebook clicks in the "**Facebook**" entry in the “**All**” tab of your "**Top Sources**" report. This is in order to make it easier for you to keep track and get a combined overview of all the clicks from Facebook.
