Hi,

Please see below:

1. exclude internal traffic (we are a global company…)
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10104470?hl=en

2. separate traffic into DEV, AQ and Production ‘views’
– You can’t create views
– Use comparison feature and Dimension = Hostname.

3. lowercase URIs/UTM data etc.
– Not possible (yet)

Hi Flytta,
GA4 is still in the works and Google is improving it and adding more features going forward.
Outbound clicks are automatically tracked IF you enable it via Enhanced Measurement.
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9216061?hl=en

You can find details about tracked links in different places, two of them are:
– Report: Life Cycle > Engagement > Events
– Analysis section: Explore > Analysis > Analysis Hub (you need to familiarize yourself with this section to get the most out of it)

Hope this helps!

Best,
Paul

Hello there, really helpful article! Thank you. I recently switched to GA from Yandex Metrica. Yandex’s Metrica was very easy to use and clear to understand, especially for tracking external clicks. However, when I switched to GA, I found out that it’s not that easy! :)

Recently, I had a notification about the release of GA4 with a lot of event tracking by default. So I jumped on to that, however I have no idea where to see outbound clicks on my analytics panel. I still believe GA4 is not really user friendly. Do I still have to make a lot of custom stuff in GTM to track outbound clicks?

Thank you

Hi,
Please see:

This is a new feature so might not be visible yet in your property. It works differently from Universal Analytics.
Best,
Paul

In reply to Marco Peters. Unfortunately, filters and views are not yet available for App + Web properties. Your second question is too comprehensive to give a good answer to via this blog. Please note that you currently can have 100 custom event parameters per project (50 numeric and 50 textual) to include in reporting (GA or BigQuery). Also, this is likely to change (when a paid version) comes available. You might need support from an external party to help you sort this out in more detail and what approach would work for you.

How can we deal with the restriction of 25 text and 25 number custom parameters. We are a global company with 50+ websites and extensive tracking
