Interfacing with Google analytics

RefTracker provides comprehensive statistics but, some organisations want web site usage statistics integrated with their other Google Analytics.  Here’s some hints about doing that:

You can put your Google analytics code in the RefTracker footer file (go to System>Utilities>Administration utilities>Template editor (text) and edit the footerClient.htm file).  Doing this will provide a statistic any time any RefTracker client interface page is used. 

You can get more targeted statistics by adding code to determine which RefTracker client interface page is being used.

For example :

Reft100.htm is the RefTracker form – Google analytics about this page tells you how many times a RefTracker form has been displayed

Reft110.htm is the form submission confirmation page – Google analytics about this page tells you how many times a RefTracker form has been successfully submitted (you can also get this information from within RefTracker)

Reft290.htm is the RefTracker KB/FAQ page – Google analytics about this page tells you how many times the KB and FAQ pages have been viewed

We recommend that you put your Google analytics code just before </body> in the footerClient.htm file.  You can adjust the other things in this file.
