R is for refreshment! This release has several interface and navigation improvements, starting with the Path Analytics menu. 

Within Path Analytics, you’ll notice 2 new menu items: Standard Experiences and Content Intelligence. 

The new menu item for Content Intelligence within Path Analytics has 2 new nested menu items: Content Analysis and Content Compliance:

• Content Analysis provides an overview of all of your content assets, their readability, and average reading time. 
• Content Compliance evaluates all of your content assets for their performance and accessibility.

And for Standard Experiences and Website Tools, you’ll see a new aggregated dashboard to view all of your accounts and their related data. We have added tabs for you to view and analyze your accounts and content assets, recommendations, engagement, SEO score, readability and accessibility in a centralized dashboard as it relates to your campaigns (Standard Experiences) and content assets (Website Tools). On both of these new dashboards, you will see a new tab named Full Journey. This tab shows all engagement for your content assets across all accounts, plus an overview of the accounts including their industry, their location, the source of their marketing, and revenue. 

Path Analytics navigation

We have renamed Campaign Tools to Standard Experiences. We have also added a new submenu under Path Analytics specifically for Content Intelligence analytics.

Support for GA4 ID

Google is replacing its Universal ID to GA4 ID. As part of its plan to replace Universal Analytics, it will stop processing new data starting July 1, 2023. For those of you who have already transitioned to GA4 ID, we have added a field for you to enter this value. Previously, in the organization settings, we used to have only one option to add a tracking ID. For this release, we have added support for all customers who have started using GA4 ID and also maintain support for the customers that haven’t yet transitioned. 

Configure your GA4ID by following these steps.

Configure your GA4ID by following these steps.

 Note: if you have configured both the Universal ID and GA4ID, the PathFactory script will prioritize GA4ID over the Universal ID. If you want the Universal ID to be disabled, please contact your CSM or email support@pathfactory.com.
