Created a Google Tag Manager account and a Google Analytics4 accoutn for tdm under the google login [email protected].

Sent invitations to @VJ1285 @KPHowley @nclairesays to access from their provided email accounts.

Implemented some triggers in the app to detect:

• page changes
• successful and unsuccessful logins, and
• project save operations

This probably needs refinement as PMs and developers get more experience with the reports, but here is an example of some basic real-time reporting in action against the deployed sites at tdmdev.azurewebsites.net and tdmuat.azurewebsites.net:

I am leaving the issue open for now, pending review by @KPHowley and @VJ1285

@VJ1285 - I copied this from slack:

1. Source of incoming traffic - This will be LADOT but its good to track if users are using some search engine to come to the website.

2. Return visitor
   

3. Bounce Rate - this is track user who come to the site and leave immediately.
   

4. Exit Pages - Which pages are users leaving the webpage
   

5. Page Views  - This metric is based on when user reviews all the content on the page
   

6. Average Session duration - Total time spent per session by a user. We can eventually use this and the below to update the website so that a user gets to the final page in the least amount of time.
   

7. Average page Duration - Time spent per page by a user. Again this will provide us insight on how much time each user is spending per page.
   

8. Goal Completions - This defined as the number of times a user completes a specific goal. We can have multiple goals like saving project, filling all the info, etc.
