How to configure custom dimension and metric in UA using with and without GTM

[jackinmathis1]

In universal analytic we can use more than 20 dimension and metric so can anyone tell me how to configure such feature 1) with google tag manager 2) without google tag manager.

@Martijn,

So you mean the screen shot which i have shared that code i have to put on my website before GA tracking code and then i will be able to use 20 dimension? and same way i have to do for metrics?

Can you please share any sites who have coded such things i.e. who have used dimension code before GA tracking code?

Regards,

Jackin

Hi,

First off, I can only answer this question for not using Google Tag Manager, as I don't have any working experience with it (we have developers, so we don't see a need to use a tag manager). If you're available to change the code for your website you have to get in there to actually change it. You add the custom dimension before you fire the final GA tracking code, which is usually: ga('send', 'pageview'); You would set up the value of the custom dimension with the data they already provided you with in the screenshot you shared with us.

It really depends on the current code set up on how you need to move forward. If you still have issues don't hesitate to ask a follow up question here.

Have you referred to the Google Analytics documentation?
