Notes on specific metrics
DAP is constantly improving GA4, and GA4 is still in beta. Some of our GA4 metrics still need improvement. Here are details.
- Site Searches: I believe DAP has fixed the issue here. I can now get data within ODDD and DOI Agency profiles. All totals are very close, but some search terms differ from UA results.
- Downloads: The document results look accurate, but event counts differ from UA. Need to follow up with DAP.
- Outbound Links: The outbound link results look accurate, but event counts differ from UA. Need to follow up with DAP.
