Cannot set up a Google Analytics Tracking ID to integrate with Jahia

Question

Following Jahia documentation about Google Analytics integration I do not see the option to get a Tracking ID.

I can get a Measurement ID though after configuring a data stream but it does not work once I set up Jahia integration.

How can I configure Jahia Google Analytics properly?

Answer

Jahia Google Analytics up to version 3.0.0 requires the usage of a Tracking ID so the Measurement ID will not work.

Google Analytics still allows you to get a legacy Tracking ID. To do so you must create a new property and then choose the Advanced Options.

From there you should see the option to Create a Universal Analytics property only. After choosing this option you will be able to follow our Documentation and get a Tracking ID to integrate with Jahia.
