Showing Button Clicked in Google Analytics - How to check which button has been clicked?
-
For my E commerce site in my google analytic in Event Action it is showing "Button Clicked" and Total Events 4005, so i want to know visitors have clicked on which buttons?

When you create event tracking, you can assign a category and label to each button that would help classify the clicks for easier understanding of user behavior.
Here is the code that I use
| onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'Category', 'Action', 'Label');" |
So if I had a category for shoes, action is add to cart and the label would be the specific shoe like Orange Adidas F-30 the code would look like this
| onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'Shoes', 'Add to Cart', 'Orange Adidas F-30');" |
When you view Events in GA, you can then see all up overview, or broken down by category, or action if there is more than one action and then the specific item.
It's a lot of manual work, I use Excel to help with the code by using the Concatenate formula.

You can also use the analytics heat mapping tool. It will show you how many clicks anything on your site is receiving. I added a Generator Sizing Calculator to my site and it told me how many clicks it was getting right away. It is pretty accurate too.

Hi,
Did you just use one event tracking code for all of your buttons on the website?
It's like giving links in a newsletter the same utm code and than trying to find out which item in the newsletter was clicked. I guess you could try and check on the full referral path as a second dimension.For future use of the event tracking try and use specific tracking labels to be able to reference to a certain button.
Good luck!

How do I setup a logged-in vs. non logged-in custom variable in Google Analytics?
I found an example of the snippet to use: __gaq.push(['.setCustomVar,
Reporting & Analytics | | Evan34
1, // first slot
'user-type', // custom variable name
'visitor', // custom variable value
2 // custom variable scope - session-level
]); Once the visitor logs into your website, we change this code, accordingly: __gaq.push(['.setCustomVar,
1, // first slot
'user-type', // custom variable name
'regular-user', // custom variable value
2 // custom variable scope - session-level
]); How does the code know to change from 'visitor' to 'regular user' once a user logs in? Is the snippet only placed on the login page?0 -
How do I track a primary domain and a subdomain as single site in Google Analytics?
Our website consists of a primary domain (marketing focused) and subdomain (ecommerce platform). The two sites look and function as one site even though they are using different technology. I would like to track the primary domain (example.com) and the subdomain (shop.example.com) as a single site in Google Analytics. The subdomain will be set up with GA ecommerce tracking as well. Can someone provide an example of the GA snippet that each would need?

Is it possible to use Google Tag Manager to pass a user’s text input into a form field to Google analytics?
Hey Everyone, I finally figured out how to use auto event tracking with Google Tag Manager, but didn't get the data I wanted. I want to see what users are typing into the search field on my site (the URL structure of my site isn't set up properly to use GA's built-in site search tracking). So, I set up the form submit event tracking in Google Tag Manager and used the following as my event tracking parameters: Category: Search Action: Search Value When I test and look in Google Analytics I just see: "search" and "search value." I wanted to see the text that I searched on my site. Not just the Action and Category of the event.... Is what I'm trying to do even possible? Do I need to set up a different event tracking parameter? Thanks everyone!

Google Analytics Queries
Hi we used a web company who put our analytics under their company name we have left them and set up a new tracking code not associated with them, but we still have access to the data and it is all contained under the same login, is it possible to merge the two tracking codes? so that we have seemless history. Also does anyone know if you can change the primary e-mail address (gmail account) to a corporate email account? Any help would be appreciated as we have researched both and from what we have found we can't merge the data and also we are stuck with the primary email address.
