I am trying to tweak some our analytics reporting and I came across a
metric for referral path. The majority of our visitors come from
referral paths that are (not set). What does this mean? How can I
tweak our settings to find out where these visitors are coming from?

I am somewhat new to analytics. I have setup some filtering and some
advanced segments, but I would like to learn more. I would appreciate
any advise that is given.

You mean a referral site as Not Set?

We find that most of our referrals that are not set come from our office traffic on the website.  Make sure that you have your filters set with your IP address.  You may have to check your IP regularly because most ISPs provide a dynamic IPs that change from time to time.

Thanks, I am trying this out now. I'm just monitoring to see how much
different traffic is than without this.
