Create an Account and Property in Google Analytics (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, the first step when you set up Google Analytics is to create an account and a property. The property contains metadata for the account.

1. Go to google.com/analytics and click Start for free.
2. Dismiss the prompts and pop-ups.

   1. In the My email communications prompt, click Uncheck all and save.

   2. In the Try the new Google Analytics mobile app prompt, click No Thanks.

   3. Dismiss the Add users and set accounts permissions pop-up.

3. Type an Account name of your choice.
4. If you have an existing Google account, such as a gmail account, check Link this account to your current organization. This lets you use the same login for Google Analytics.
5. Click Next. On the next page, click Next again.
6. Type a Website Name of your choice.
7. For the Website URL, enter www.google.com.

   For this example, you won't have a production URL, so the URL doesn't matter.

8. For the Industry Category, select Computers and Electronics.
9. Click Create. Check the two I accept... boxes and click the I accept button.
10. On the page that appears, copy the Tracking ID. It is in the format XX-nnnnnnnnn-n. You will be assigning it to a variable in a later task.
