We've added the option to publish any audience to a new report in Analytics that should help make every audience easier to understand. <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_0E1aGCMmcSgXX9xJmRG6NMkF5catgQK_L2oZJGM0EnO1bE6jWM2qiwMgUplAaluP1d_wq9IfAThqzkHVdOP-9yqJvuv8welDMFINibQErrfV5SCLRUILRg6fyIhH_hoMiHXt/s1600/audiences+in+reporting.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_0E1aGCMmcSgXX9xJmRG6NMkF5catgQK_L2oZJGM0EnO1bE6jWM2qiwMgUplAaluP1d_wq9IfAThqzkHVdOP-9yqJvuv8welDMFINibQErrfV5SCLRUILRg6fyIhH_hoMiHXt/s1600/audiences+in+reporting.png" /></a></div> <div style="margin-top: -40px; margin-left: 75px;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br />Publish your audiences into Analytics and then view reporting in the Audiences report.</i></span></div> </div> <br /> <br /> You can now go to the new Audiences report and see a cross-channel view of the audiences you’ve created in Analytics. This is a change from the past, where you could create audiences in Analytics and export those audiences to other products like AdWords, but you weren’t able to publish audiences to Analytics for reporting.<br /> <br /> For instance, you might decide to publish an audience to Analytics so that you can see all users who have purchased within the last 12 months but not during the last 2.<br /> <br /> You can find the new Audience report in your Analytics account. <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7162572" target="_blank">Learn more about Audiences in reporting.</a><br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Reach users most likely to convert  </h3> <br /> Meet our newest metric: <strong>Conversion Probability</strong>. It takes user-based metrics one step further to show you just what the name suggests: the probability that a given user will convert in the future. The calculation is based on a machine learning model that learns from users who have made transactions in the past. <br /> <br /> The advantages are clear: Marketers can create remarketing lists that target users who have a high likelihood to purchase and then reach those users through either advertising campaigns in AdWords and DoubleClick or site experiments in Optimize.<br /> <br /> We are also adding a new <strong>Conversion Probability report</strong>. This report will show you the Conversion Probability for all your users, including across important dimensions such as channel.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBdoioLxwcoNhSwf5GRcvTYGshCh8XQbzA_B2VtV_2RTZeI75VztS05Fc3DYhA3d8kTdhQcQt32lw2L2Lafh5Op43ManW6cepH-TYAIhtkTJZkE99SkvUjBSTI-Fqx8RD8Or7/s1600/conversion+probability.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBdoioLxwcoNhSwf5GRcvTYGshCh8XQbzA_B2VtV_2RTZeI75VztS05Fc3DYhA3d8kTdhQcQt32lw2L2Lafh5Op43ManW6cepH-TYAIhtkTJZkE99SkvUjBSTI-Fqx8RD8Or7/s1600/conversion+probability.png" /></a></div> <div style="margin-top: -40px; margin-left: 215px;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br />The new conversion probability report.</i></span></div> </div> <br /> This new feature from <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7411707" target="_blank">Analytics Intelligence</a> is the first forward-looking estimate of how likely a conversion is for individual users.

These new metrics and dimensions will give Analytics users a much more detailed way to measure visitors and customers.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYC7_L8QAtDP0kxd9-nSbEte-jpMEue9JzBjEKDmyDpDePzdu8dk6QTnNl0hll-j3Ga3pxXXC6NJgF1kQAZshDP1qa-uGOcFx9hx9fX-FBemQRL6rvOPpSChm6ph69r0lzP7Ar/s1600/lifetimevalue.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYC7_L8QAtDP0kxd9-nSbEte-jpMEue9JzBjEKDmyDpDePzdu8dk6QTnNl0hll-j3Ga3pxXXC6NJgF1kQAZshDP1qa-uGOcFx9hx9fX-FBemQRL6rvOPpSChm6ph69r0lzP7Ar/s1600/lifetimevalue.png" /></a></div> <div style="margin-left: 125px; margin-top: -40px;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br />New lifetime metrics and dimensions for individual users in User Explorer.</i></span></div> </div> <br /> For example, you can look back and see the total amount of time an individual user has spent or the total number of transactions an individual user has made on your website.

We've added the option to publish any audience to a new report in Analytics that should help make every audience easier to understand. <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_0E1aGCMmcSgXX9xJmRG6NMkF5catgQK_L2oZJGM0EnO1bE6jWM2qiwMgUplAaluP1d_wq9IfAThqzkHVdOP-9yqJvuv8welDMFINibQErrfV5SCLRUILRg6fyIhH_hoMiHXt/s1600/audiences+in+reporting.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_0E1aGCMmcSgXX9xJmRG6NMkF5catgQK_L2oZJGM0EnO1bE6jWM2qiwMgUplAaluP1d_wq9IfAThqzkHVdOP-9yqJvuv8welDMFINibQErrfV5SCLRUILRg6fyIhH_hoMiHXt/s1600/audiences+in+reporting.png" /></a></div> <div style="margin-top: -40px; margin-left: 75px;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br />Publish your audiences into Analytics and then view reporting in the Audiences report.</i></span></div> </div> <br /> <br /> You can now go to the new Audiences report and see a cross-channel view of the audiences you’ve created in Analytics. This is a change from the past, where you could create audiences in Analytics and export those audiences to other products like AdWords, but you weren’t able to publish audiences to Analytics for reporting.<br /> <br /> For instance, you might decide to publish an audience to Analytics so that you can see all users who have purchased within the last 12 months but not during the last 2.<br /> <br /> You can find the new Audience report in your Analytics account. <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7162572" target="_blank">Learn more about Audiences in reporting.</a><br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Reach users most likely to convert  </h3> <br /> Meet our newest metric: <strong>Conversion Probability</strong>. It takes user-based metrics one step further to show you just what the name suggests: the probability that a given user will convert in the future. The calculation is based on a machine learning model that learns from users who have made transactions in the past. <br /> <br /> The advantages are clear: Marketers can create remarketing lists that target users who have a high likelihood to purchase and then reach those users through either advertising campaigns in AdWords and DoubleClick or site experiments in Optimize.<br /> <br /> We are also adding a new <strong>Conversion Probability report</strong>. This report will show you the Conversion Probability for all your users, including across important dimensions such as channel.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBdoioLxwcoNhSwf5GRcvTYGshCh8XQbzA_B2VtV_2RTZeI75VztS05Fc3DYhA3d8kTdhQcQt32lw2L2Lafh5Op43ManW6cepH-TYAIhtkTJZkE99SkvUjBSTI-Fqx8RD8Or7/s1600/conversion+probability.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBdoioLxwcoNhSwf5GRcvTYGshCh8XQbzA_B2VtV_2RTZeI75VztS05Fc3DYhA3d8kTdhQcQt32lw2L2Lafh5Op43ManW6cepH-TYAIhtkTJZkE99SkvUjBSTI-Fqx8RD8Or7/s1600/conversion+probability.png" /></a></div> <div style="margin-top: -40px; margin-left: 215px;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br />The new conversion probability report.</i></span></div> </div> <br /> This new feature from <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7411707" target="_blank">Analytics Intelligence</a> is the first forward-looking estimate of how likely a conversion is for individual users.

These examples will give you a head start and create a platform for you to learn and share with other community members.<br /> <br /> Initially, we are releasing these connectors in our open source repository:<br /> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/googledatastudio/community-connectors/tree/master/npm-downloads">npm Downloads</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/googledatastudio/community-connectors/tree/master/fusion-tables">Fusion Tables</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/googledatastudio/community-connectors/tree/master/stackoverflow-questions">Stack Overflow Questions</a></li> </ul> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h2> <span style="font-size: large;">Contribute to the community</span></h2> <br /> If want to submit your own open source connector to the repository, you can send us a <a href="https://github.com/google/datastudio/compare">pull request</a>. Alternatively you can maintain your own repository and link to that from the official repository.<br /> <br /> This Git repository is a small start where we plan to make new additions. We have already seen other open source Community Connectors like <a href="https://github.com/datadotworld/data-studio-connector">data.world</a> and <a href="https://gist.github.com/aarondicks/cba3dfefca68139a2ce38676109dc2fb#file-custom-google-data-studio-example-getstat-com-api">getSTAT</a>. We are hoping that initiative will help developers and users to create connectors to new Data Sources and thus make more data accessible in Data Studio. Developers can also collaborate with each other as well as report new issues and fix existing ones through these open source connectors.<br /> <br /> This collaboration platform gives developers the option to leverage support from the community. If you want to develop your own connector but are unable to maintain it in the long run, you can add it to our repository so that the community can support it.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://github.com/google/datastudio">Visit the repository</a> and <a href="https://developers.google.com/datastudio/connector/">start building your own Community Connector</a> today!<br /> <br /> <br /> <div> Posted by Minhaz Kazi, Google Analytics team</div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2017/11/open-source-community-connectors-for.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Analytics Solutions:Open Source Community Connectors for Data Studio&url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2017/11/open-source-community-connectors-for.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2017/11/open-source-community-connectors-for.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2133710632813156911' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://analytics.googleblog.com/2017/10/data-studio-richer-visualizations-and.html' itemprop='url' title='Data Studio: Richer Visualizations and Analytical Functions'> Data Studio: Richer Visualizations and Analytical Functions </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> October 25, 2017 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> The Data Studio team has been hard at work launching new features to allow for richer visualization and new views on data.

Analytics Intelligence also includes existing machine learning capabilities like <a href="https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/09/explore-important-insights-from-your.html" target="_blank">automated insights</a> (now available on both web and the mobile app), <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/4628577?hl=en" target="_blank">smart lists</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6153083?hl=en" target="_blank">smart goals</a>, and <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7303153?hl=en" target="_blank">session quality</a>.<br /> <br /> <strong>How it Works</strong><br /> We've talked to web analysts who say they spend half their time answering basic analytics questions for other people in their organization. In fact, a <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/resources/whitepaper-discover-how-marketing-analytics-increases-business-performance.html" target="_blank">recent report</a> from Forrester found that 57% of marketers find it difficult to give their stakeholders in different functions access to their data and insights. Asking questions in Analytics Intelligence can help everyone get their answers directly in the product ― so team members get what they need faster, and analysts can spend their valuable time on deeper research and discovery. <br /> Try it!

These insights can show spikes or drops in metrics like revenue or session duration, tipping you off to issues that you may need to investigate further. Insights may also present opportunities to improve key metrics by following specific recommendations. For example, a chance to improve bounce rate by reducing a page's load time, or the potential to boost conversion rate by adding a new keyword to your AdWords campaign.<br /> <br /> To ask questions and get automated insights from Analytics Intelligence in our web interface, click the Intelligence button to open a side panel.

Analytics Intelligence also includes existing machine learning capabilities like <a href="https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/09/explore-important-insights-from-your.html" target="_blank">automated insights</a> (now available on both web and the mobile app), <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/4628577?hl=en" target="_blank">smart lists</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6153083?hl=en" target="_blank">smart goals</a>, and <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7303153?hl=en" target="_blank">session quality</a>.<br /> <br /> <strong>How it Works</strong><br /> We've talked to web analysts who say they spend half their time answering basic analytics questions for other people in their organization. In fact, a <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/resources/whitepaper-discover-how-marketing-analytics-increases-business-performance.html" target="_blank">recent report</a> from Forrester found that 57% of marketers find it difficult to give their stakeholders in different functions access to their data and insights. Asking questions in Analytics Intelligence can help everyone get their answers directly in the product ― so team members get what they need faster, and analysts can spend their valuable time on deeper research and discovery. <br /> Try it!

And, while we support implementing all other tags using a variety of custom tag types, we’re dedicated to expanding the number of third-party tag templates available to you. Tag templates make it easy to add and maintain tags on your sites and apps without code. This means that less technical users can be more involved, errors are less likely, and your sites are ultimately more secure.<br /> <br /> To make it easier and safer to deploy third-party tags, we've developed an open format that allows vendors like Microsoft, Twitter, and Nielsen to implement and maintain their own tag templates in Google Tag Manager. For companies whose products depend on tags, having a tag template in Google Tag Manager is a great way to make implementation easier than ever.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div> <center style="margin: auto; width: 90%;"> <em>"The seamless integration of Digital Content Ratings — a key component of Nielsen's Total Audience measurement framework — into Google Tag Manager will enable easy deployment and rapid adoption of Nielsen measurement with savvy digital clients."</em> <br /> – David Wong, SVP of Product Leadership at Nielsen</center> </div> <br /> <br /> <br /> Our <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/program/" target="_blank">Vendor Tag Template Program</a> allows tag providers to natively integrate with our tag templating system.

Google Tag Manager already has a host of security features such as <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6107011" target="_blank">user access controls</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/4525539" target="_blank">2-step verification</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6328489" target="_blank">malware detection</a>, and <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/devguide#restricting-tag-deployment" target="_blank">tag blacklists</a>. We’ve now also made some changes to the Google Tag Manager container snippet — given out in our user interface and documentation — to improve security and performance even more.<br /> <br /> Previously, the Tag Manager container snippet loaded containers in a protocol-relative manner. That is, on pages with an https:// URL, the container would be loaded securely using HTTPS. Our new snippets will always use the secure protocol (HTTPS) by default, regardless of the protocol of the page. This helps protect containers from malicious parties and snooping, and in many cases, will also improve performance.<br /> <br /> You’ll also notice that we’ve made a change to how we recommend Tag Manager be implemented, now with the container snippet split into two parts:<br /> <ul> <li>A JavaScript snippet that should be implemented as high in the <head> of your page as possible to ensure the best tag performance. This change is especially important if you plan to use Tag Manager to deploy <a href="https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/09/an-easier-way-for-everyone-to-improve-the-customer-experience-meet-google-optimize.html" target="_blank">Google Optimize</a>.</li> <li>An iframe snippet that should be implemented just after the opening <body> tag. This snippet handles firing of image pixels for users with JavaScript disabled, and also enables <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/" target="_blank">Google Search Console</a> verification.</li> </ul> To get the best performance, it’s recommended that you implement both container snippets following the <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/quickstart" target="_blank">latest installation instructions</a>.<br /> <br /> What if you already have Google Tag Manager implemented on your site? Not to worry: These changes are optional, and your existing implementations will continue to work without a problem. To get the highest level of security and performance, you can update your implementations at your earliest convenience.<br /> <br /> Happy tagging! <br /> <br /> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Scott Herman, Product Manager, Google Tag Manager </span> </div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> With <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/tag-manager/" target="_blank">Google Tag Manager</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/360-suite/tag-manager/" target="_blank">Tag Manager 360</a>, we make it easy for marketers to manage tags on their sites and apps for fast, flexible implementation of new marketing technologies.

For companies whose products depend on tags, having a tag template in Google Tag Manager is a great way to make implementation easier than ever.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div> <center style="margin: auto; width: 90%;"> <em>"The seamless integration of Digital Content Ratings — a key component of Nielsen's Total Audience measurement framework — into Google Tag Manager will enable easy deployment and rapid adoption of Nielsen measurement with savvy digital clients."</em> <br /> – David Wong, SVP of Product Leadership at Nielsen</center> </div> <br /> <br /> <br /> Our <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/program/" target="_blank">Vendor Tag Template Program</a> allows tag providers to natively integrate with our tag templating system. Google performs a security review of each tag that is submitted through the program. The resulting tags are integrated into Tag Manager, and displayed with the company’s logo and an easy-to-use form to configure and deploy the tag.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div> <center style="margin: auto; width: 90%;"> <em>"At Hotjar we're obsessed about giving our users fast and actionable insights about how their visitors are using their site. Our top most priority is making it easy and simple to set up Hotjar. For this reason, we're extremely excited to provide 'out-of-the-box' support for Google Tag Manager."</em> <br /> – David Darmanin, CEO of Hotjar</center> </div> <br /> <br /> <br /> Some recent additions include: <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0tzRfckQAK8ymF52YmxjlwWwDyy4quRkYlXnVIEK2RygwGM3wkOtyN44tX-f_d2DbiYfOKz1HAjDi65jHrl_zsqxPARtGVLPfT1rrRJF8chK7Kz1J-CjZgUSslo-A3a-oK5_F/s640/logos.png" width="640" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> (See the <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6106924" target="_blank">full list of supported tags</a>)</div> <br /> <br /> <b>Are you a vendor who would like your tag supported? <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/program/" target="_blank">Learn more about the Vendor Tag Template Program and enroll here.</a></b><br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> <b>Secure container loading</b></h3> At Google, we constantly look to develop products with best in class security. Google Tag Manager already has a host of security features such as <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6107011" target="_blank">user access controls</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/4525539" target="_blank">2-step verification</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6328489" target="_blank">malware detection</a>, and <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/devguide#restricting-tag-deployment" target="_blank">tag blacklists</a>. We’ve now also made some changes to the Google Tag Manager container snippet — given out in our user interface and documentation — to improve security and performance even more.<br /> <br /> Previously, the Tag Manager container snippet loaded containers in a protocol-relative manner. That is, on pages with an https:// URL, the container would be loaded securely using HTTPS. Our new snippets will always use the secure protocol (HTTPS) by default, regardless of the protocol of the page. This helps protect containers from malicious parties and snooping, and in many cases, will also improve performance.<br /> <br /> You’ll also notice that we’ve made a change to how we recommend Tag Manager be implemented, now with the container snippet split into two parts:<br /> <ul> <li>A JavaScript snippet that should be implemented as high in the <head> of your page as possible to ensure the best tag performance. This change is especially important if you plan to use Tag Manager to deploy <a href="https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/09/an-easier-way-for-everyone-to-improve-the-customer-experience-meet-google-optimize.html" target="_blank">Google Optimize</a>.</li> <li>An iframe snippet that should be implemented just after the opening <body> tag. This snippet handles firing of image pixels for users with JavaScript disabled, and also enables <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/" target="_blank">Google Search Console</a> verification.</li> </ul> To get the best performance, it’s recommended that you implement both container snippets following the <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/quickstart" target="_blank">latest installation instructions</a>.<br /> <br /> What if you already have Google Tag Manager implemented on your site? Not to worry: These changes are optional, and your existing implementations will continue to work without a problem. To get the highest level of security and performance, you can update your implementations at your earliest convenience.<br /> <br /> Happy tagging! <br /> <br /> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Scott Herman, Product Manager, Google Tag Manager </span> </div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/10/spotlight-on-google-tag-manager-open.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Analytics Solutions:Spotlight on Google Tag Manager: Open and Secure Tag Management&url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/10/spotlight-on-google-tag-manager-open.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/10/spotlight-on-google-tag-manager-open.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='42410268880350968' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/10/beautiful-reports-and-collaboration.html' itemprop='url' title='Spotlight on Data Studio: Beautiful Reports and Collaboration Just Got Easier'> Spotlight on Data Studio: Beautiful Reports and Collaboration Just Got Easier </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> October 4, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> We launched Google Data Studio (beta) in the U.S. earlier this year, and last week, we expanded availability to 21 additional countries.* We’re excited to offer Data Studio to companies across the globe so they can easily create and share reports and dashboards, and ultimately use insights and collaboration to make better business decisions.<br /> <br /> Organizations today collect an increasingly large amount of data.

This is just the latest in a series of improvements designed to better meet the needs of our enterprise customers. In case you haven’t been keeping up with all of our many updates, here are some things you may have missed:<br><br> <strong>Testing & Security:</strong> <ul> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6311518"><strong>Environments</strong></a> – Building on our strong preview and debugging capabilities, Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 now also support publishing changes to specific testing environments (e.g. Dev, Staging, QA). You can set up as many environments as you need for your organization and name them whatever makes sense for you. When you go to publish, simply choose the environment you’d like to publish your changes to. It’s never been easier to test your tags to make sure your upcoming tag changes align with your upcoming site changes, and that you get things right the first time.</li> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6328489"><strong>Malware detection</strong></a> – To protect the safety and security of your users, Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 will now automatically detect when tags deployed through your containers point to sites where we’ve found malware. You’ll be notified that there’s a problem, and the culprit tags will be paused so you can track down the issue without risk to your website and your users.</li> </ul> <strong>Organization:</strong><ul> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6231791"><strong>Folders</strong></a> – As your containers grow over time, it can become difficult to keep track of all of your tags, triggers, and variables. With folders, you can organize these items into logical groupings, making them easier to work with for yourself and your team members.</li> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6238868"><strong>Tag sequencing</strong></a> – Not all tags work independently.

This is just the latest in a series of improvements designed to better meet the needs of our enterprise customers. In case you haven’t been keeping up with all of our many updates, here are some things you may have missed:<br><br> <strong>Testing & Security:</strong> <ul> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6311518"><strong>Environments</strong></a> – Building on our strong preview and debugging capabilities, Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 now also support publishing changes to specific testing environments (e.g. Dev, Staging, QA). You can set up as many environments as you need for your organization and name them whatever makes sense for you. When you go to publish, simply choose the environment you’d like to publish your changes to. It’s never been easier to test your tags to make sure your upcoming tag changes align with your upcoming site changes, and that you get things right the first time.</li> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6328489"><strong>Malware detection</strong></a> – To protect the safety and security of your users, Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 will now automatically detect when tags deployed through your containers point to sites where we’ve found malware. You’ll be notified that there’s a problem, and the culprit tags will be paused so you can track down the issue without risk to your website and your users.</li> </ul> <strong>Organization:</strong><ul> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6231791"><strong>Folders</strong></a> – As your containers grow over time, it can become difficult to keep track of all of your tags, triggers, and variables. With folders, you can organize these items into logical groupings, making them easier to work with for yourself and your team members.</li> <li><a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6238868"><strong>Tag sequencing</strong></a> – Not all tags work independently. Sometimes it’s important for your tags to fire in a specific order. With tag sequencing you can specify tags to fire immediately before or after a given tag to ensure that things happen just the way you expect. </li></ul> <strong>Mobile:</strong><ul> <li><a href="https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/05/welcome-to-firebase-introducing-next.html"><strong>Mobile app tag management</strong></a> – Google Tag Manager for mobile apps has been rewritten to be simpler, smaller, and faster.

That’s why, over the past year, we’ve launched <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/360-suite/tag-manager/">Google Tag Manager 360</a>, and have been working to build features that better address the needs of enterprise customers. <br /> <br /> <strong>Today, we’re excited to announce one of these new features: workspaces in Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360!</strong> <br /> <br /> Until now, all tag changes were prepared in a single container draft before being versioned and published. This sometimes led to complicated workflows and workarounds for multi-user teams and their agencies. Workspaces give you more than one space to do your work. Teammates can now easily work on tags at the same time, or make quick changes without publishing everything that’s in the works. Simply create a new workspace, make your changes, and hit publish. Tags, triggers, and variables being worked on in other workspaces will remain unaffected. <br /> <br /> The new workspaces are essentially places to work on sets of changes that will become <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6107163">versions</a>. When a workspace is versioned or published, its name, notes and list of changes will be carried over to the version, so you have a full history of what’s changed in your container and when. <br /> <span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="471" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/u4Y9R_gPZySpHWZiUsAtlWqE4F0Z4RLqHiLvVhzYTBQqCPDmN0HwlJ8to-IGZYTrqMDX88agB3BRgjOyycocgldQcKMJ3VeyUxp0dvQ3cGwNQHOQTRueCaaBUReXLknltxq2moCr" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="624" /></span> <br /> What happens if tags you’re working on in one workspace are changed in another? Not to worry. Tag Manager will let you know if there are conflicts when a new version is created. Then it will guide you through merging them into your workspace with an easy-to-use conflict resolution tool! <span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="211" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/hc6QO_0ZCXcSNQQwBXCaHeKWR6f3DLLEDNb8EhY-t1MkLur43EnGz8oEDhFcOWyRGfFysHHn-rY2pYYFjObB99-kg5Ldmn4oPAgenqHyVDrSEIPfUPQSV0m5SLvfcVMk9H-Zwi0a" style="border: none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="624" /></span> <br /> <span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="465" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/FavSNKMQeLu6RXlxi-PAI94whu_YBZYpQ0in2dfDFnDrqzWsqepJF3VnfZPh-gfDeMUv2uX4IaWC43YqN9MR4w0Z3l1Nz_eLjckx0dcMshqVx_fqyKwAEcErkZBnr60rgIOD6iqN" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="624" /></span> <br /> You’ll also notice that we've made the Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 interfaces faster and easier to use. <em>Need to enable a built-in variable while working on a tag?</em> Sliding screens let you configure related tags, triggers, and variables without dropping out of your current editing flow. <em>Want to know which tags a certain trigger is applied to? </em>Trigger and variable screens now tell you exactly where they’re being used. <em>Not sure what type of variable to use to grab a value from your site?</em> Configuration screens are now easier to read and include more in-line guidance. <br /> <br /> Starting today, <strong>Tag Manager 360 customers will be able to create unlimited workspaces in their containers!</strong> Having unlimited workspaces is ideal for the large organizations and complex collaboration efforts that Tag Manager 360 was designed for. If you’re a Tag Manager 360 customer, or a customer of another <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/360-suite/">Google Analytics 360 Suite</a> product, reach out to your Account Manager to learn more. <br /> <br /> Users of the standard version of Tag Manager will also benefit. All containers will be enabled for up to three concurrent workspaces (a <em>default workspace</em>—similar to the container draft today—and two additional custom workspaces). The enhanced interface will also give you greater visibility into exactly what changes are being made when you hit publish. <br /> <br /> We'll keep thinking about how to make tagging easier for you. We already have improvements planned for workspaces and other areas of Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 to make our products even more powerful and easy to use.

Not to worry. Tag Manager will let you know if there are conflicts when a new version is created.

If you’re a Tag Manager 360 customer, or a customer of another <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/360-suite/">Google Analytics 360 Suite</a> product, reach out to your Account Manager to learn more. <br /> <br /> Users of the standard version of Tag Manager will also benefit. All containers will be enabled for up to three concurrent workspaces (a <em>default workspace</em>—similar to the container draft today—and two additional custom workspaces). The enhanced interface will also give you greater visibility into exactly what changes are being made when you hit publish. <br /> <br /> We'll keep thinking about how to make tagging easier for you. We already have improvements planned for workspaces and other areas of Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 to make our products even more powerful and easy to use. We’ll have more to share soon! <br /> <br /> <strong>Interested in Google Tag Manager 360?</strong> <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/360-suite/tag-manager/">Visit our website to learn more.</a> <br /> <br /> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Scott Herman, Product Manager, Google Tag Manager</span> </div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/08/enterprise-class-tag-management.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Analytics Solutions:Enterprise-Class Tag Management: Announcing Workspaces&url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/08/enterprise-class-tag-management.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/08/enterprise-class-tag-management.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7806146081832258112' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/05/better-insight-into-your-customer.html' itemprop='url' title='Better insight into your customer interactions with Google Analytics '> Better insight into your customer interactions with Google Analytics </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> May 5, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> A few weeks ago, we <a href="http://analytics.blogspot.in/2016/04/spotlight-smarter-marketing-with.html" target="_blank">highlighted</a> how connecting site analytics data with digital marketing campaign data can help companies understand the full customer journey.

With User Explorer you can get insights into visitors that spent the most with you over a given time frame and analyze each of their journeys on your site over that time period. This analysis surfaces individual interactions that can uncover new opportunities for optimizing their overall experience and path to conversion. In addition, User Explorer opens up new possibilities to help inform your marketing activities. For example, User Explorer can help you identify anonymous individual customers who have not converted recently and help them re-engage with your site using existing marketing channels.<br /> <br /> Combine User Explorer with existing user-centric capabilities to help you go deeper and make your data actionable. With the high value users you've identified using the User Explorer, create a Google Analytics "Segment" so that you can apply this group of users across all your reports and understand how this group behaves across your site. Building an audience from these segments allows your business to remarket specifically to these customers.
