Create a Google Analytics 4 account with a web data stream
A Google Analytics account and Google Analytics 4(G4) property are required to configure a G4 Analytics integration in CONTENTdm (new version).
- To get started, visit Google Analytics and create a Google Analytics 4 account with a web data stream to obtain your measurement ID. Even if you already have a Google Analytics account, we recommend setting up a separate account specifically for CONTENTdm (new version).
- If you're currently using Google Universal Analytics, you'll need to create a new Google Analytics 4 data stream for integration with CONTENTdm (new version).
To create an account and a G4 property, use the following Google documentation: Set up Analytics for a website and/or app.

From the Administration > External services screen:
- Click Edit in the Google Analytics 4 section.
- Select the Enabled radio button under Google Analytics 4.
- Enter your GA4 Measurement ID (e.g., G-1111111ABC).
