How long does it take for GA to update event labels? - google-analytics

On my site, I send GA some event data when a widget falls into a users' viewport. Earlier today (about 7 hours ago), I changed the labels of those events. I have kept the category the same.
When I navigate to "Behavior -> Top Events" panel on the GA dashboard, I don't see the new labels. However, in the real time view, I see the new labels.
Should there be a discrepancy between the two panels? Is there somewhere I can "hard refresh" the labels for GA?

Google Analytics Content Experiments: Session Based or User-Based?

I've set up a few experiments with Google Analytics using its experiment interface and everything seems to be working fine, but I haven't been able to find the answer to how Google Analytics attributes reached goal to the variations, is the attribution session-based or user-based?
Here's a scenario:
User visits one of the page variations included in the experiment during a session, does something else on the website and closes it.
The next day the user comes back, opens my website in the same browser and completes the goal (without visiting the experiment variation page)
The question is: will the reached goal still be attributed to the variation page the user saw during the previous session or will it be discarded and won't be attributed to any of the variations, since the user didn't see the variation in the same session he completed the goal.
The reached goal should still be attributed to the variation page:
A user is considered part of an experiment once he or she has seen the
experiment page. For example, if a user sees the experiment page, then
comes back the next day, the second visit is counted, even if the user
does not view the experiment page again.

Viewing number of subscribed user for each Branch link

I am using Branch SDK for track marketing and Referrals in my android app. Can i add a new column "Subscribed" in marketing section along with Total clicks and Total Installs.? If so how its possible.? if no, then how can i track number of users subscribed from each partner?
We're in the process of revamping the marketing tab to allow for custom events for each link, campaign, etc. In the mean time, you do custom conversion funnels by link by clicking on the stats button to the right of the link:
Then scroll down to the bottom of the new page that opens. You can add a custom conversion funnel for 'install' -> 'subscribed'. This will show the exact number of folks that subscribed for each link. Make sure that your date selector includes the time frame you're interested in.

Not able to group Google Analytics custom events by page

I have custom events being successfully tracked in Google Analytics.
However, when adding a secondary dimension of page, or when creating a custom report to group custom events by page, my numbers go way off. The total events number goes down, and half of the events that I saw in the unfiltered report are no longer there. My custom report is setup quite standard from what I can tell. Does anybody have any experience or similar issues to this? Are we not tracking something correctly?

Change the title of previously published page in Google Analytics

I had to change the page title for few pages which were first published 1-2 weeks ago. But google analytics is still showing the old page title.
Is there any way to force google analytic to store the new page title?
No. You cannot change historical data (with the possible exception of transaction data).

Google analytics to track impressions/views?

I have a site that lists business listings from a database. On each page you can do different things such as forward it to a friend, print the page etc. My question is could I use google analytics to track impressions and views for each listing? So if I showed the top 10 listings on the home page I want to track each listing as an impression since its being showed, then if they click one of the links to view the business listing it tracks it as a view. Then on the business listing details page if they do any of the actions such as forward to a friend or print the page I want to track that as well.
For tracking views/clicks Im assuming I would need to use setPageView passing something like setPageView('/listing/12345') correct? I dont know how to track it for impressions though. Then on the listing details page to track if they printed it etc Im assuming I would track it as an event? Such as trackEvent('listing', 'Print') if that is what I need to do for event how does it associate with the page tracking so that I could see how many times someone printed the listing page for /listings/12345?
No need to create fake page views. Google Analytics has a feature called Event Tracking, which is described in the Event Tracking Guide. The guide has an illustrative example;
A simple example illustrates how you might use the Event Tracking method
to record user interaction with a video Play link on your page. It
assumes that pageTracker is the name used for your tracking object.
Play
In this scenario, the reports for Events would display Videos as the Category,
Play as the Action, and Baby's First Birthday as the Label.
In your case, you would track Views and Clicks using the Event Tracking feature. You'd have to decide on how you'd want Actions, Categories and Labels set up to match your data. You might want package types (Gold, Silver etc) as Categories or Labels, for example.
This question and its answers are similar to your scenario.
