Configure your Google Analytics Widget
1) The following is required to pull in GA report data for your website:
✓ The account you connect has admin privileges
✓ The website property's "View" URL (Admin > View > View Settings > Website's URL) is accessible and displays the website
2) Perform the following steps to configure your widget:
- Follow the steps for "Adding a Widget."
- When the widget window appears, select "Configure Widget."
- Enter the following information:
- Widget Title: Title you would like displayed for the widget.
- Google Account: Provides access to the data being gathered by your account.
- Website: Select a Website.
- Metric: Select a Metric.
- Segment: Select a Segment.
- Filters: Enter Filters.

App + Website?
Google's API does not support App+Web properties. Reporting data from Web + App GA will not be available in the Widget.Adding Additional Accounts
To add another account, click on the Google Account dropdown, and click on the white-space under your existing account:
Troubleshooting
- I don't see my website in the dropdown
Make sure that the Google account you connect has admin privileges, the website property you are connecting is not a "App + Web" property, and the website URL (GA Account > Admin > View > View Settings > Website URL) = the website you are pulling in.
- My widget's metrics ≠ the metrics in my GA dashboard
Our GA widget refreshes every hour. However, Google will limit API requests to once a day if "...your account sends more than 200,000 sessions per day to Analytics, this will result in the reports being refreshed only once a day." This means that Google will not make the latest data available.
- My dashboard is slow to load
If you have 20+ widgets on your dashboard, and a majority of those widgets are pulling in large amounts of data, your dashboard loading time will be affected. We recommend spreading out the widgets onto multiple dashboards.

Common Questions
Can I monitor all my websites' Google Analytics data in 1 Cyfe widget?
Yes you can! Use Cyfe's "Mashups" widget (located in the Custom section) to do so.
This is an incredibly unique way of bringing your aggregated/total statistics in. Make sure you have all your Google websites available through 1 (or more) connected Google profiles using the Google Analytics widget Create an individual widget for each website, focusing on a consistent metric you want to monitor in order for the data to be consistent and "apples to apples".
For example, Widget #1 could be "Website A" with the Metric of Sessions. Widget #2 would then be "Website B" with the same Metric of Sessions. Place them wherever (and even hide the widgets, if you'd like). Tip: it doesn't matter where you place these, it can be a separate or "staging" dashboard. That said, it's a great idea to monitor all sites on one screen, so you could keep them in the same place! Use the Mashups widget to add in all of the sites from Step 2!
In our example above, simply pick each "Sessions" metric from Site A and Site B and add them together using the "+" icon. This is a great way to monitor broad trends for your website portfolio if you have several, or if you are an agency/consultant, a great way to crunch numbers for your clients' total website performance (for internal or marketing purposes).
Connection Error/Problems (Old Widget That Was Previously Working)
Most likely Google expired your third party connection. (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Google, etc do this to third party connections every 60 days or so -- there's no way to stop this, or a connection can be expired upon changing a password).
The fix is simple!
Reconfigure your existing Google+ widget by clicking on the gear icon located at the top right corner of the widget. Click on the Google Account drop down and select the first empty entry in the list. Then click on the Add Account button located next to this drop down list.
A new popup will open where Google will ask you to confirm the connection. Click on the Accept button.
The popup will automatically close and you will be back on the widget configuration screen in Cyfe. Now click on the Save Widget button. You should only have to do this for one widget.
