Introduction

Google Analytics is a useful tool if you'd like to track how members use and interact with your space.
In this article, we'll cover how you can set up your Analytics tag in OfficeRnD.

How to set up Google Analytics

This article by Google explains how you can get your tracking code. You can also find the steps to follow below:

1. If you have a Google account, you can create a Google Analytics account here.
2. Once you've logged in, click Admin. The button is in the bottom-left corner of the page.
3. Create an account in the Account column.
4. Create a property from the Property column.
   Here you can click Show advanced options and enable Create a Universal Analytics property. Otherwise, your property won't have a tracking code.
   
   
   
   
   • Universal analytics properties support only web tracking.
   • Standard properties support app and web tracking but don't have a tracking code, which is needed for the setup with OfficeRND.
     
     
5. Select the property that you created and, under it, you'll see a section called Tracking Info with a subsection called Tracking Code. Here, you can find the Tracking ID of your property. Copy it, as you'll need it for the setup later:
