In reply to Kartik. Hi Kartik, I am not sure how you can best resolve that in your case. Could you provide more details?

Hi Paul.

I tried creating a user variable in GTM that is of the type array of strings. I try to pass that array to GA/UA. Unfortunately, it does not work. Do you know of any workarounds?

In reply to Jim. Hi, there could be several reasons for this and probably you need to double check (with a developer) that the datalayer is built correctly to convey this information. Also, take into account a possible delay in some metrics/dimensions appearing in GA. Again, I can't give detailed advice as there could be many reasons for this.

Hi, might not bet related but I’m pushing through GTM’s datalayer and can successfully see the event but the default dimensions category and brand are still not set on product performance tab on ecommerce section in analytics.

Hi there,

This need to be wrapped within the hardcoded Universal Analytics tracker and everything needs to be filled dynamically (by a developer).
However, nowadays most companies embed custom dimension via GTM and the Data Layer.

Best,
Paul

Where should I put this code :
var dimensionValue = ‘SOME_DIMENSION_VALUE’;
ga(‘set’, ‘dimension1’, dimensionValue);

In reply to NALISETH ANDREINAOR. I am sorry, but I don't fully understand your question. It sounds this is possible, but you will need the help of a developer to implement the dataLayer in the correct way. This in addition to the correct GTM setup.

In reply to Paul Koks. Thanks Paul, I'll go with the second alternative. I'm a developer but I believe the second solution will be easier to implement and enough for what I need. Thanks!
