Google Analytics Setup for Providers - Universal Analytics (UA)

This document will show you how to set up your Google Analytics (GA) Dashboard for your CampDoc or SchoolDoc account. For more information on Google Analytics, including a glossary of terms, please visit the Google Analytics Help Center.

Google Analytics will be asking its users to convert to GA4 on or before July 2023, as Universal Analytics (UA) will no longer be available after this date. You are not required to convert to GA4 as we do support UA tracking ID’s. Visit our GA4 Google Analytics Setup for Providers if you are on the GA4 model.

  7. Configure your goal.
    • Select the Event goal type.
      Note: This goal type treats each event as a conversion, and is what we use to track registrations.

      • Use Event Conditions to configure the event components.
      • Define the event's action, category, and label.
        • Our event_action corresponds to the step the registration is at (i.e. start_registration and complete_registration).
        • Our event_category is registration.
        • Our event_label corresponds to the step the registration is at (i.e. start and complete).
          Important: Text field must match.
  8. Verify your goal.
    • Click Verify this Goal to test your goal setup. This will calculate a conversion rate for this goal based on your data from the past seven days.
