Hello,

We would like to have a record of the metrics/analytics of our webpage.

I believe this is called, “Google Analytics” and that you must include that feature on our webpage.

Would you please attach that feature to the webpage and please let us know how to look for that information.

Thank you very much!

Hello June,

Google Analytics is a free service provided by Google. To access Google Analytics first you must have a Gmail account. If you already have a Gmail account you then go to google.com/analytics for access to Google Analytics. The next step would be to create a new property which is what will generate the UA code which is then placed on your site. After You have signed up for Google Analytics and generated a UA code, you can enable the Google Analytics module in your YaleSite and place your UA code (Configuration > System > Google Analytics). This will begin to track the data on your site from the point you place your UA code on the site forward. Note that it will take approximately 24hrs for any data to be displayed in Google Analytics.
