SeeAdd a Google Analytics code snippet to a Web sitefor specific instructions.
Before you add a Google Analytics tracking code snippet to an event site, create a property in your Google Analytics account for the event website and copy the snippet associated with it. When you manage the event site, paste the snippet into the snippet field in theGoogle Anayticssection of theWebinfo Checklist. If you have not previously added a code snippet to a site, the text box is empty (see figure below). After you add the code, if you have changes simply make them here. The text box accepts up to 800 alphanumeric characters.
Note:When you create a property in Google Analytics for a Sphere website, enter its friendly URL in the Website URLfield.
From theGoogle Analyticssection, you can also access URL information to configure destination goals and funnels in your Google Analytics account and monitor whether website users complete actions on your event website. A destination goal is a reporting tool in Google Analytics that allows you to specify the final page in a series of pages a user visits to complete a transaction such as a registration or donation. When you create a destination goal, you can also specify the steps in the path, known as a funnel, you expect users to take to reach the goal. For a registration, funnel steps include the registration selection, profile information, and billing pages.
Note:If you plan to configure destination goals and funnels, the snippet you use must be associated with a property you add to your account specifically for the event website. For detailed information about accounts and properties, refer to the Google Analytics help documentation.
To configure destination goals and funnels, select a form underGoogle Destination Goalsthat corresponds to the goal you want to create. Copy the URLs for the steps, including the final destination goal, and paste them into the goals section for the event website property in your Google Analytics account.
For CMS sites, add the code snippet to the CMS site’sAdd-Onstab. The first time you access theAdd-Onstab for a site, the Google Analytics text box is empty (see figure below). To add a code snippet, edit the tab.
For CMS and Thon sites, you can copy the code snippet from Google Analytics and paste it in the text box, or type the code snippet. The text box accepts a maximum of 800 alphanumeric characters.
