Popular Use Cases: Accessing data from your Google Universal Analytics account

 

Google is officially sunsetting Universal Analytics on July 1, 2023

    Google Analytics 4 is the recommended replacement. Due to the differences in tracking logic used in Universal Analytics vs Google Analytics 4, historical data will not transfer from one to the other.
      Because of this, it's important to get Google Analytics 4 set up as soon as possible in order to start accumulating data in this new system. 

Read our full Transition Guide for more information. 

Within Google Analytics, data is organized based on Audience, Acquisition, Behavior, and Conversions.

The navigation links in this document can be used alongside the main navigation in your Google Analytics Account. 

If a menu item isn't listed but you want to report on data from that section, please contact our Support Team for more information.
