Google Analytics Setup for Providers - GA4

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.

If not already on the GA4 model, follow the steps in this UA → GA4 Conversions in Google Analytics 4 guide to walk you through the GA4 conversion setup requirements. Google Analytics will be asking its users to convert to GA4 on or before July 2023.

You are not required to convert to GA4 as we do support UA tracking ID’s.
