Add Google Analytics to web app?

Is it possible to add Google Analytics to my web app? As we've made custom changes to some of the widgets, we deploy on our own web server so I'm hoping it's just a matter of adding the tracking code to the right file.

Kieran,

Sure I have mine added to the main index.html for my app.

@Kieran Clark @Robert Scheitlin, GISP

Can either of you please share how and where you added the tracking code please?

Is this on the Portal Server ?

Thanks

Bee,

I do not use Portal. I am using WAB Developer. I am not sure where to make the change for portal.

Ok, got a couple of questions.

1. If my page was built using the Web AppBuiilder for ArcGIS, does this fit your category or it just has to be built in WAB Developer?

2. If I was to download WAB Developer and use it on my page currently built with the above conditions as provided, will I break or corrupt anything?

Thanks.

Bee,

If you created your app in AGOL WAB and then downloaded the app to host on your own web server then you could add Google Analytics. There is no need to consider WAB Dev if you can download and host the WAB app on your own web server.

Robert,

It is an on premise enterprise portal. Hopefully my terminologies are right. I know it is definitely not AGOL.

Bee,

Then my original reply applies. I don't have any experience with on premise Portal.

Robert,

Just for clarity is the experience different when using WAB Developer and Web Appbuilder for ArcGIS?

I wonder if anyone else is using Google Analytics in their organizational portal page?

Bee,

Yes the experience is different when you use WAB Dev and host the app on your own web server as I have already mentioned.
