Set up a Google Analytics account
Set up a free Google Analytics account and customize it to collect Ellucian Mobile information.
Before you begin
- You can set up a single Google Analytics account and use that account to report all of your configurations. This method makes it easy to see the combined data for all of your configurations, but you will need to use a somewhat more complex view, such as a pivot table, to see detailed information about the specific modules that people are using within a specific configuration.
- You can set up separate Google Analytics accounts for each of your configurations. This method makes it easier to see detailed usage data for each configuration, but you will not be able to view the combined data for all configurations without exporting it and doing the calculations yourself.
Procedure
- Using a Google account, sign in to the Google Analytics website at https://www.google.com/analytics/index.html.
-
Create a new Google Analytics account.
See the Google Analytics online help for the procedure for creating a Google Analytics account. Note the following:
- Specify that you are tracking a mobile app (not a website).
- Make a note of the tracking ID that is generated for the account. You will enter that tracking ID in the Ellucian Mobile Cloud Configuration tool using the procedure Enter your tracking ID into Ellucian Mobile.
-
In the new account that you just created, go to
, and create two custom dimensions with the following properties:
Name Scope Active Configuration Name Hit Checked Module Name Hit Checked Google displays example codes for the new dimensions. These are already built into Ellucian Mobile, so you can ignore the example codes and click Done.
Note: Your custom dimensions must have the namesConfiguration Name
andModule Name
, and must be created in that order, so that they will be recognized by Ellucian Mobile. When you view the custom dimensions after creating them, theConfiguration Name
