One of my Custom Dimensions not showing up completely on Google Analytics?


I created 3 custom dimensions through Google Tag Manager (added them as Data Layer Variables). Then, I added custom fields to my pages for these 3 custom dimensions.

After waiting about 24 hours, I checked the three custom dimensions on Google Analytics and two of them have showed up for all of the pages. The last one is showing up for maybe 4-5 pages, but not all of them. It's now been more than two days and the other pages still haven't populated with the last custom dimension.

Is there a quicker way to see if this third custom dimension is showing up for all of the pages with the designated custom field?

Since this is being done on a test site, most pages have not been visited a ton. Not sure if this can also matter for how long it takes Google Analytics to populate the data.


Solution

  • Get the chrome extension 'GA debugger' and go yourself to the site. On the console you ll see each hit sent to GA and all the fields that are being populated.

    PS: Custom dimensions ll show up as 'cdX' where X is the number of the dimension.
