The Zoho Analytics advanced reporting add-on for Google Analytics brings in all the capabilities of Zoho Analytics described above, to Google Analytics. It comes with the following features/benefits.
The Zoho Analytics advanced reporting add-on for Google Analytics works as below.
When you setup/configure the Zoho Analytics add-on, 50+ default reports/dashboards are automatically created. These hand-picked reports will be pretty useful in analyzing your Google Analytics data effectively. For example, campaign reports, geo reports, platform/system reports etc.
For more details about the reports supported for Zoho Analytics Advanced Reporting Add-on for Google Analytics, refer the Reporting Features section.
Refer to the below slide show for setting up the add-on, with step-by-step instructions.
After configuring the Advanced Analytics in your Google Analytics account, wait for at least a couple of hours for all your Google Analytics data to be imported into Zoho Analytics. You will receive an email when the import/sync is complete and is ready for creating reports over the same.
Once the initial data synchronization is done, subsequent changes to your data in Google Analytics will automatically be synchronized into Zoho Analytics at the scheduled times you have specified during setup.
The import/sync process of your Google Analytics data can fail sometimes, due to a variety of reasons. Hence you may receive such mails occasionally. The Zoho Analytics team will look into it immediately and get back to you, after taking the required corrective action.
Case 1: You will receive the Setup Process Failed mailwhen there is a failure during the initial fetch. In this case we request you to:
Case 2: You will receive the Synchronization Failed mail if there is any failure during the data synchronization process between Google Analytics and Zoho Analytics, after the initial setup & import of data. This might be a momentary failure due to any internal issues. This import schedule will get suspended if there are five successive failures.
The below Google Analytics data will be synchronized by default into Zoho Analytics.

Once the initial data import/synchronization between Google Analytics and Zoho Analytics is completed successfully, you can start accessing the reports created in Zoho Analytics, and also create your own reports & dashboards.
You can easily create custom reports in the form of charts, pivot tables, summary and tabular views in Zoho Analytics. Click the corresponding links to learn more about creating reports. These reports can also be organized together to form intuitive dashboards. Refer this documentation to learn more about creating dashboards.
By default, the reports you create are accessible only to you. However, you can share the reports with your colleagues using the Sharing options available in Zoho Analytics. Refer the How to Share Reports & Dashboards question.
You can choose data from the following profiles of Google Analytics to be synced with Zoho Analytics.
Each of the above profile's data is stored as a 'Table' in Zoho Analytics. Default reports are based out of the above profiles (tables). You can create your own reports & dashboards over the above profiles.
We plan to support synchronization of more Google Analytics data (like e-commerce etc) in the near future. Support for other data will also be prioritized based on user demand.
It will be setup in the Zoho Analytics account that the Google Analytics user creates, and uses as part of the setup process. It is this account which will serve as the master admin account of Zoho Analytics.
At present, we do not provide this option in the user interface. If you require this transfer, please mail us at onprem-support@zohoanalytics.com. We will get your requirements and handle this.

Refer to the Adding Formulas in Zoho Analytics help page.
No, you cannot. Data from Google Analytics gets automatically synched into Zoho Analytics tables. You cannot edit any of this data or add new data records from within Zoho Analytics.
No, you cannot add new columns. But you can add Formula Columns and Aggregate Formulas (i.e., calculated fields) to these tables to help you create powerful reports. Refer Adding Formulas in Zoho Analytics to know more.
Yes, you can add new data tables. Click New > New Table and you can add new tables to the existing Google Analytics workspace.
With this feature, you can import data from other sources or add them manually into your workspace to analyze and create reports combining this with your Google Analytics data . You can also import data from other business applications like Salesforce etc. With Analytics Plus API you can integrate data from other applications.
Refer:
Yes, you can combine data from your other sources with your Google Analytics data for analysis.
To do this, you need to add/import a new data table into the Google Analytics Workspace and then define a look-up to join it with the synchronized table from Google Analytics.
To define a lookup relationship between two tables, it is essential that the tables have at least one column which is common between them. Follow the below steps to look up a column from Google Analytics along with the data from any other source.
Please do note that you can create Lookup only to columns in the tables that are not from the same data source.
Zoho Analytics allows you to pull the data required by writing standard SQL SELET Queries. This feature is called Query tables, using which you can also combine data from different tables and create reports from the same. Click here to learn more..
Yes, you can join data from multiple tables to create the reports. Refer to Joining Tables in Zoho Analytics for detailed help on this.
You can share the default reports provided in the Zoho Analytics add-on and also the reports you create, with your organization employees/colleagues. Refer the Sharing and Collaboration help page for more.
Once you privately share a report to your colleagues they will be able to access the same as you do. Refer this help documentation to know how to access the reports.
Note:
1. If you share the data tables in the Google Analytics Workspace to users, they will be able to create their own reports over the same.
2. If you add a user as a Workspace Admin in the Google Analytics Workspace created in Zoho Analytics, the user will be able access all the data & reports, create new reports and do any operation that you could do on the Workspace.
When you configure the Google Analytics Analytics Plus add-on, the tables and reports will be available only to you, by default. You have to share the Google Analytics workspace with other members of the organization. Only then will the default reports be accessible by those members.
To know more, refer the Sharing and Collaboration help page.
The Google Analytics user who set up the add-on should share the tables present in Google Analytics workspace with other members of the organization. Once this is done, the shared users can create reports based on those tables.
To know more, refer the Sharing and Collaboration help page.
This is the expected behavior. If the user being shared to is a workspace admin, they can edit the reports. If a normal user wants to edit a report, they can save the report in their account under a different name using the Save As option, after which it can be edited.
Yes, you can. Refer the this help documentation section to know how this can be done.
To print a report/dashboard, please follow the below steps.
If you are a user to whom a report has been shared and you want to take a print of it, ensure you have been provided the Export permission by the Administrator, only then you will be able to print the report.
If you are the Administrator of the Analytics Plus connector or a workspace admin, you can schedule reports and dashboards to be emailed automatically. Refer to the email schedule section to learn more.
Reports and dashboards can be exported in a variety of file formats.
You can export a report/dashboard in Zoho Analytics as follows.
You can easily embed the reports & dashboards created in Analytics Plus in your website, web application or blog. Refer this documentation to know more.
