Adding a Google Analytics Connector to your site in the CMS

• By request only, Institutional Marketing will be adding Google analytics connectors to individual sites in the CMS. If you would like to be able to see the connector within the CMS, please send a request to webhelp@uwyo.edu.

  • Please Note that the connector is in addition to the Google analytics report, described above. 

• The Google Analytics Connector syncs Google Analytics data with Cascade CMS to provide users with basic analytics information for Sites, Pages, Files, and Folders. Site analytics data is available through the addition of a dashboard widget. All other analytics data can be found on the Analytics pane of each asset.

Viewing Analytics Data

• In sites where a Google Analytics Connector is enabled select the asset you want to see analytics for or select the root folder to see analytics for your site.  Next click the ". . . More" option in the top right.  In the drop down menu that appears, choose Analytics.
