[@tigermann777]

GURU!!!! Thank you for all this.....There would be a TON of lost people in the world without this knowledge. Let me THANK YOU on all their behalf.

[@koordrozita7236]

As if you are reading my mind and making these videos 😁 your knowledge is very valuable. Thanks for sharing.

if i want to see a user property within the events tab, there was this category called Customer User when you clicked the +, is that no longer available? if not, would be just select the user property name and look at the data accordingly?

I have a React APP SPA, Do I need to install only GA4 or GTM into my project. I was just trying with GA4 only. As see this video and saw GTM and new tags/variable creations, do I need to install GTM only?

If I change the pricing_plan to something else, tracking is going to break, difficult to find out where

[@mattcoddaire767]

Hi Julius! Hope all is well since we last spoke. Question - I have a website that is broken down by a client's division based on location. So, 15 towns roll up into a division name that the web team has set up the data layers to push properly across all pages for a division. That being said it was recommended to me that I use the user scope vs. event scope but I wanted to confirm if possible because I don't see an example out there for this use case which I'm sure happens often.

[@harikrish8112]

can we not add it under "User Properties" under " Shared event settings" in google tag in GTM ?

[@AnalyticsMania]

Yes, you can. There are multiple ways to achieve this. But including in all event tags too is even better

[@VítEichler-h5h]

I am not able to see user_properties in big query, I only see user_properties for page_view after config tag but later, there is only user_id. Why is that?

[@KurtCockayne]

If the pricing plan was a 50/50 randomised true/false value, would this be a suitable way to perform an A/B Test?

[@entertainmNT680]

Fantastic 😍

[@dolorian_dollar]

Good stuff ma G 👍

[@emreozcan1640]

Is it not simplier to add pricing_plan as configuration parameter in Google Tag rather than adding with settings variable as the parameters are anyway shared with all GA4 event tags?

[@AnalyticsMania]

What if the pricing plan changes on the page? Then your config tag will still keep using the older value of the parameter. With my suggestion, the latest value will be fetched.

[@freeskierjim]

Hi Julius, my user properties will show values with event tags. However, on my configuration tag, which fires upon intiliazation, the values show as "undefined" - any idea what's going on here? I have a snippet for my data layer and it rendering comes after the GTM code in my tag.

[@AnalyticsMania]

You answered your own question. You fire your tag before your data layer snippet is loaded

[@freeskierjim]

@@AnalyticsMania it felt that way typing it out. Broadly speaking, what is the best practice in rendering data layer? In order to fire upon initialization, I would like to render before GTM tag, but don't want to compromise anything.

[@iamsharadkumar]

how many event setting variable we can use in single tag?

[@AnalyticsMania]

One

[@erwingeeraerts6386]

@@AnalyticsMania Can you ad multiple (user) properties to the event setting variable? Does this only apply for user-scoped custom dimension? Or can you also ad event based properties?

[@neold_]

Thank you for the quality content, as usual. 🙂 Do you have any info about the release date of session scope dimensions? I know Google is working on it: you can read it in the question mark right after the "Scope" field in GA4. This coming scope will be really useful too!

[@AnalyticsMania]

That question mark has been like that for several years. So not sure when or if it's actually coming

[@PRABAHARANGANESAN]

Hi bro, please explain Item scoped custom dimension . Give any blog for item scoped.

[@AnalyticsMania]

Those are explained in my GTM and GA4 courses

[@PRABAHARANGANESAN]

@@AnalyticsMania I can't see any item scoped specific bro. Please share those link..
