How do you create a view within Google Analytics v4? I am trying to query for Analytics data, specifically conversion information. However, I cannot find adequate documentation for this new version. I have been following this guide. There is not a "create view" button has referenced in the older documentation.
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-py
I am using a "Web + App" app which I assume is v4.
In Google Analytics 4 (App+Web) you will no longer see the “View” column (as you had with Universal Analytics) as there are no Views in this new type of property (settings and capabilities usually done in View can now be done within the new property, and other reasons, such as creating country specific Views, can be accomplished with a quick Filter in the new property).

When using the dashboard in google analytics real time - whether it's in firebase or just in GA4 - I can keep track of not just the events but also their properties. However, when I want to use the "analysis" tab in GA4 I can no longer search by property. Is there a way to use the dashboard to drill 1 level deeper into the event so I can search by properties instead of just events?
You need to defined custom properties (custom definitions side bar option) before they can be seen in the reports.
I'm trying to setup a Google Optimize Container for A/B testing + other. The issue I'm having is that I definitely need to link to Google Analytics in order to measure results. When I try and link to a Google Analytics property for this only the Universal Analytics properties I have (which I don't actually use) show up, but not the Google Analytics 4 property I'm actually using. Am I doing something wrong? Is the connection not actually implemented yet by Google?
TL;DR: Google Analytics 4 Properties don't show up as linkable in Google Optimize Container.
follow this step:
create a new property in. google analytics
Click on show advance
Activ Create a Universal Analytics property
Add your website address
Create both a Google Analytics 4 and a Universal Analytics property

Trying to link it in Google Optimize says Coming Soon. Looks like we just have to wait.
GA4 is not supported. As of right now you can't link a GA4 property to Google Optimize.
GA4 is not on this list https://support.google.com/optimize/answer/6315871?hl=en

I was able to get around this issue by adding an additional property to my GA4 account. You have the option during the creation process of the GA4 account to provide support for both GA4 and universal analytics. You can also add the support after the fact as well... just go into your admin section of Google Analytics and create a new property. After that, you will be able to connect Google Optimize and your GA4 account.
I believe #Kenneth Durrum was referring to creating a "Universal Analytics property" instead of a GA4 property. You can also create both as mentioned by #mohammad hossin rouhani, but Google Optimize will only work for the Universal property. Please refer tho the image below for selecting the Universal property on Admin console. (Added this as an answer since i was not able to attach the image on Kenneth's comments).
If you create a new Universal Analytics property, you can link it to your existing GA4 property under Admin > GA4 Setup Assistant
I have a site which uses the old Google Universal Analytics with a "Tracking-ID" (UA-XXXX).
Now i have created a container (and published it) inside google tag manager,
inside "google analytics" i have "Upgraded to Google Analytics 4" via the button, this created a new entry in "properties".
This new property does not have a Tracking-ID but a Measurement-Id.
Inside google tag manager in the newly created container i added a Tag "Google Analytics GA4" with the above Measurement-Id, and a trigger "all pages".
When i visit the site i can see inside the "real-time"-Overview my own "visit".
But on the Main-Chart (where i can see when how many users visited the website) the "old data" from Universal Analytics is still missing.
How can i "include" the old data into the new property?
Is that even possible?
No, that's not possible. Moving old data into a new property has never been possible, and in this case the data models are different, so it would probably do not make a lot of sense.
If you want to reconcile old and new data you could do it programmatically by using the API (or BigQuery exports if you have GA360 for your old properties) and doing some mapping in code, or you could probably use Data Studio and merge old and new data, if you finde a shared field that you can use as a key.
This question already has an answer here:
Add Google Analytics to Android app without Firebase
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I went to create a new google analytics property for my mobile app, and it seems like Google is now forcing us to use their Firebase analytics for mobile. There is no option to not use Firebase if you select that you are creating the property for a mobile app.
Does anyone know a way around this? I need to create a new property for my app, and my app isn't set up to use Firebase.
Thanks!
Follow the below steps:
First create a property for website under PROPERTY column mentioning
your mobile app website in website field. example "resApp.com/"
For this created property, create a new view under VIEW column by selecting "Mobile" from the dropdown menu.
By doing this you can get to use Google analytics alone. No need of firebase.
Check this link for reference : https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2587086?hl=en&visit_id=1-636317179632979567-126840879&rd=1
You could also use this link to create a project or property :
https://developers.google.com/mobile/add
Here it will ask for your app name(TestApp) and bundle ID(com.test.app).
Then Click on Continue to Choose and Configure services
Choose Analytics
Immediately it will enable Analytics for your app and will show up the New Tracker ID and also the PROPERTY you are looking for.
Property created will bear a name in the combination of your App name and Bundle ID given in the first step (TestApp iOS/Android: com.test.app)
I found a simple way to achieve this by just creating a new account in your Google Analytic admin page, then you are allowed to create a moblie app tracker id with this account.
When I originally created my Google analytics account I added all my websites (properties) to the one account. Now I would like to move them to their own individual accounts but I cant seem to find anywhere where this option is available.
I can easily make a new account but that seems to entail creating a new property and view. If possible I would like to keep the historical data that GA has already gathered for this website.
Note: I am using the terms as per the 3 columns in the GA Admin page: Account, Property and View
Update: September 10, 2016 - Now there is a way to move GA properties between accounts:
There is no feature (at the moment) to move properties within accounts.
Update: January 2016 - still no feature to move properties.
You'll need Admin Access to two Google Analytics ACCOUNTS - one destination account and the account where the Property currently is.
Once you have access to both with the same Google account, head in to the Property Settings and click "Move Property".
