Find information about using CONTENTdm (new version) with Google Analytics 4.

CONTENTdm (new version) supports Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google’s next-generation analytics tool. 

 Roles: Users with the Administrator or Collection Manager role can configure Google Analytics 4. Refer to CONTENTdm (new version) roles. 

Create a Google Analytics 4 account with a web data stream

A Google Analytics account and Google Analytics 4(G4) property are required to configure a G4 Analytics integration in CONTENTdm (new version).

  • To get started, visit Google Analytics and create a Google Analytics 4 account with a web data stream to obtain your measurement ID. Even if you already have a Google Analytics account, we recommend setting up a separate account specifically for CONTENTdm (new version).
  • If you're currently using Google Universal Analytics, you'll need to create a new Google Analytics 4 data stream for integration with CONTENTdm (new version).

To create an account and a G4 property, use the following Google documentation: Set up Analytics for a website and/or app.

Enable Google Analytics tracking

From the Administration > External services screen:

  1. Click Edit in the Google Analytics 4 section.
  2. Select the Enabled radio button under Google Analytics 4.
  3. Enter your GA4 Measurement ID (e.g., G-1111111ABC).
  4. Click Save.
