2. Create a template (optional)

This is optional as there is a default template that can be used. It is called CV_OpeningBodyTemplate. This template contains the following: 

Code Block
titleThis tag will output the 'snippet' required by the Google Tag manager.
<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<noscript><iframe src="//www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id={0}" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});
var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';
j.async=true;j.src= '//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','{0}');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->

Note

If you create your own template:

  • The template does NOT have to contain the tag [TemplateUtil.GoogleTagManagerInitialiser]. If it is not in the template, the 'snippet' will not be present on the page and the Google Tag Manager will not work.

  • If the tag [TemplateUtil.GoogleTagManagerInitialiser] is in the template, it must be at the start of the template (i.e. no text can come before it).

3. Set templates

There are two templates that you can set:

  • Global - one for all users.
  • Role-based - one for users in specific roles.

The default template is called CV_OpeningBodyTemplate.

Info

The role-based template will be checked first and used if it exists. If it doesn't exist, the global template will be used.

Global

To use the tag manager for all users, go to the default templates admin page. Set the Opening Body Template to the default template or another template you created.

Role-based

To use the tag manager for users in specific roles, go to the role management admin page (see Templates tab). Set the Opening Body Template to the default template or another template you created.

Digital Remarketing

Tip

The 'Data Layer Doctor' extension for Chrome may be useful in viewing data objects during testing. It allows you to check the contents of a data layer and verify it against your specifications.

Remarketing displays relevant Google Ads to users after they have left your site but are still on Google or partner websites. What ads are shown to a user is based on whether their behaviour while on your site matches a behavioral profile for a user segment. If it matches, they are added to that user segment. Segment rules determine what kind of ads such users see. For example, you might create a segment of 'website visitors' - users who leave your site without making a purchase. You might have rules that show them ads of product they clicked on or those they added to cart, as they continue to browse and search the internet. Remarketing in a targeted way like this may help bring them back to your site.

See: Remarketing with Google Analytics 

Remarketing data from every page of the website are sent to Google. What data (property + its value) is sent with each page type are listed.

Enhanced Ecommerce

Enhanced Ecommerce is additional functionality for Google Analytics. It allows richer data to be gathered beyond the standard ecommerce transactional information at the Order Confirmation step. Enhanced ecommerce data provides a more nuanced view of user behaviour, such as content engagement, product views, and cart actions. 

Enhanced ecommerce data is pushed for nearly every event type on the website. The data objects, including properties and their possible values, are outlined below. 

AnchorecomimpressionsecomimpressionsProduct Impressions

Product Impression data is pushed when a product list is displayed. For example, a page of search results, products in a category, or a user's favourites.

Property

Notes

event

enhancedEcomm

Due to infinite scrolling, some pages may load additional data after the initial page load. For this reason, impressions are pushed via an event. Infinite scrolling creates a new event, and therefore a new data push. This also ensures that data is pushed in blocks, so as not to exceed Google's object data limit.

    Overview

    Google Analytics allows your business to collect usage and behaviour data for your CV ecommerce store. It then generates reports that measure traffic and engagement across your website. The integration of Google Analytics to the CV ecommerce platform is pre-configured to collect data needed for specific user actions (events). You can select what to include and exclude to suit your business needs.

     

    From version 2022.3, the most recent Analytics version - GA4, is availabe for your CV ecommerce site. New implementation of Google Analytics should select this version. If you're on the old version - Universal Analytics (UA), you can still use it until it is deprecated by Google (1st July 2023). UA reports will not be generated after this date. 

      

    Read about GA4:

    1. Enable Google Analytics version

    In the CMS, go to: SettingsSettingsSystemsAnalytics.
    With Analytics enabled on your site, click Configure.
    In Analytics Feature Settings, toggle ON Enable Analytics.
    In Analytics Version, select 'UA' or 'GA4'.  
    In Google Tag Manager ID, enter the ID from your Google account. 
    When the ID is entered, Analytics functions available are listed. Tick at least one.
    Image Removed

    Enhanced eCommerce - collect data on user interactions with products on your site for reports. Can include: product impressions, product clicks, product detail views, etc
    Enhanced Rich Snippet - use a snippet to enhance search results visually

    • remove_from_cart
    • view_cart (Version 4.40+)

    When the version GA4 is enabled in the CMS, GA4 data from these events is automatically sent. Important - 'Enhanced Ecommerce' option is required always for GA4, but you do not have to configure and add further code for it to work. The 'Remarketing' option only applies to UA.
