How to set up your Google Analytics Account
The first step is to set up your Google Analytics account, so that there is a dedicated tracking code for your accessplanit system.
Within the Admin section of your Google Analytics account you can create a new account.
When creating a new account, select that you will be tracking a website. You can choose an account and website name that’s easily identifiable for you (which is important if you have lots of different accounts set up).
Insert the website URL (for example ‘config.accessplanit.com’ - where 'config' is your system name). Once you have completed the rest of the form, click Get Tracking ID.
Once you have your Tracking ID code, you will need to insert it into your accessplanit system.
Please note – you need to have a Google Analytics account set up which follows the standard Google Analytics implementation.
How to link your Google Analytics Account to your system
There are three areas to configure:
Sending Data
Tick this option to have all transactional data sent through to your Google Analytics account on the Confirmation Step of the Shopping Basket.
Google Analytics Options
Within this section, enter your Google Analytics Tracking ID code into the Account ID field.
Then enter the required domain(s) into the Linked Domains section, which is only needed if there is a related site.
For example, if you use accessplanit as the Shopping Basket and another website to display the courses, then set the linked domain to the other site.
Google Tag Manager Options
Google Tag Manager allows you to track each stage of the Shopping Basket. This will help you determine page views and key events, such as drop out statistics. In order to set this up, you'll need to create a Tag Manager account on Google Analytics (if you don’t already have one).
You will need to create a new container for your accessplanit system, where you will enter the URL of your system.
After you have created this container, you will be presented with the codes you need (don’t forget to publish the container once you’ve added in tags such as page views).
Once you have your codes, you will need to insert them into your accessplanit system, in the related fields shown above.
Once you have completed these areas click Save to start tracking.
