How to setup Google Analytics with your HUB

Creating a main/global property

1. Go to analytics.google.com - sign in

2. If you have multiple analytics accounts, select the dropdown then select the proper account that you are looking to use/connect.

3. Select Admin (bottom of the side nav)

4. Select “+ Property” to create a property
   

   

   
   - set the Property Name
   - Don’t set as a Universal Property because it is being deprecated in 2023

5. Select “Next”
   - Fill out Business Information if needed

6. Select “Create”

7. Select “Web” platform (You should automatically be brought to “Data Streams” on the side nav, if not select Data streams to see the screen below).
   

   

   
   
   

8. Set the “Website URL” to your app URL (without any “/home” or other portions of the URL ie. inspirehub.ihubapp.org NOT inspirehub.ihubapp.org/home)
   - if you are setting up multiple apps, pick an app URL that you would like to use as the “main” property which will be “tricked” to still track analytics for every app the code is added to.

9. Set the Stream Name to whatever you’d like
   -Leave enhanced measurement on

10. Select “Create Stream”

11. Select “View tag instructions” (top or bottom of the window)

12. Select the “Install Manually” tab

13. Copy the code listed.

14. Open the builder and go to the Hub that you are wanting to add Google Analytics to

15. Go to “Configure > Tracking Code” and paste the code
    - Save the code changes so they aren’t lost

Creating a app variable (only if you have multiple apps)

1. Repeat the steps above
   -Set the URL and stream name to match the app that the new Property is being made for

2. Copy the first script line that appears under “Install Manually” and paste it below the first script line in the builder code from the global variable.

3. Copy the gtag code at the end of the code block, and paste it below the other gtag code that is in the builder code from the global variable.
   -the two scripts and gtag pieces of code should look like the example screenshot below (note: the blue and red boxes are to indicate the ids are unique/different)
   

   

4. With each individual app property created, they will then all appear under “Pages and screens” in the main engagement dashboard under “Reports > Engagement >Pages and screens”.
