Show correct URL for Google Analytics subdomain

I've set up a new Google Analytics account for a client who has a www. main domain and a shop. subdomain. GA is tracking all the interior pages of both domain and subdomain correctly. However, the one issue is that it tracks the two home pages the same, showing just the site root forward, /. I'm seeing this on the real-time overview and in the content section (although that does show page title, so I can differentiate there).

Is there a way to get GA to show a more specific URL instead of just / for primary domain and subdomains?

Thanks - Joe

You'll want to create a filter that includes the hostname. To do this:

1) Create a new filter

2) Filter type: Custom filter > Advanced

3) Field A -> Extract A: Hostname (.) Field B -> Extract B: Request URI (.) Output To -> Constructor: Request URI $A1$B1

Field A Required: Yes Field B Requered: No Override Output Field: Yes Case Sensitive: No

NOTE: Once you enable this filter, your pages starting that day forward will include the both the hostname and request URI i.e. it's not retroactive.
