@Martijn,
So you mean the screen shot which i have shared that code i have to put on my website before GA tracking code and then i will be able to use 20 dimension? and same way i have to do for metrics?
Can you please share any sites who have coded such things i.e. who have used dimension code before GA tracking code?
Regards,
Jackin

Hi,
First off, I can only answer this question for not using Google Tag Manager, as I don't have any working experience with it (we have developers, so we don't see a need to use a tag manager). If you're available to change the code for your website you have to get in there to actually change it. You add the custom dimension before you fire the final GA tracking code, which is usually: ga('send', 'pageview'); You would set up the value of the custom dimension with the data they already provided you with in the screenshot you shared with us.
It really depends on the current code set up on how you need to move forward. If you still have issues don't hesitate to ask a follow up question here.

How do I create a segment that shows me all pages using a certain keyword? But nothing that doesn't have that keyword?
There must be an easy answer to this, but I can't seem to find it. All I want to do is create a segment in Google Analytics that shows all pages and search strings with "orthopaedics" in the title, with pageviews, uniques etc. If I simply navigate to "All Pages" in Google Analytics and then click Advanced Filters and do an Include Page Contains "orthopaedics" it works just fine. (See attached Screen Shot) But when I try to recreate this as a segment, it pulls in all other pages the users visited before arriving on the orthopaedics page I want to include, which I don't want. I can manually exclude each URL I don't want, but this is tedious and I feel there must be a simpler method I'm just missing. At the end of the day, I'm trying to create a list of every page and dynamically created query string that includes the word "orthopaedics" to say doctor X, your orthopaedics section generated X views, and here's a list of the pages.

Using Regex for Goals in Google Analytics
I’ve got a website with 20 different forms; and I’d like to track all 20 form completions with one Goal in Google Analytics. The completion-page URLs follow the pattern below (the website uses Drupal CMS) Form One: www.acme.com/node/2990/done?sid=651 Form Two: www.acme.com /node/2991/done?sid=785 Form Three: www.acme.com /node/2992/done?sid=1021 Form Four: www.acme.com /node/2993/done?sid=459 I believe that there is a way I can use regex so Google Analytics will track if any of these completion URLs appears. Looking for guidance how to format the regex statement.

How do you compare year-over-year keyword analysis without (Not Provided) screwing everything up?
We have a seasonal business. It is of no use to compare this month to last month or even this week to last week. The only real benchmark is to compare the same time period a year ago. I'd like to know how well I'm doing for a certain keyword. If I compare this month's performance to the same month's performance a year ago, I get corrupt results as much is now hidden in (Not Provided). Any solutions?
