It's possible to track all of your users activity across all of your Full Fabric pages via your Google Tag Manager (GTM) which you can then connect to Google Analytics (GA) to view insights on your data.

GTM helps make tag management simple, easy and reliable by allowing users to deploy multiple tags all into one GTM container.

Once your GTM container ID has been added to FULL FABRIC, then the GTM container will be fired on the relevant pages, which you can track on your Google Analytics.

What metrics can be tracked on FULL FABRIC with a Google Tag Manager container?

The following metrics can be tracked on FULL FABRIC with GTM containers:

  • Page views

  • Started applications

  • Submitted applications

  • Form landing page visits

  • Form landing page submissions

  • Event landing page visits

  • Event landing page submissions

How can I track these metrics on Google Analytics?

You can track these metrics through the relevant URL. Please see the phrases below on which you can trigger the relevant goal:

  • Page view ➝ URL of the portal page

  • Started application ➝ URL contains "applications" and "started"

  • Submitted application ➝ URL contains "applications" and "submitted"

  • Event landing page submissions ➝ URL of event landing page + URL contains "submitted"
