[Former Member]

From SAP Jam Collaboration 1802 release, SAP Jam Collaboration supports the tracking of page view traffic analytics so that administrators can have visibility on metrics such as number of page visitors by the hour or day, usage patterns, content interaction, device and operating system usage, and internet browser usage.

This blog is to demonstrate how to configure Google Analytics to use as clickstream analysis of SAP Jam Collaboration.

• SAP Jam Collaboration: enterprise, advance plus, advance editions

*In order to use Google analytics, Google Gmail account is a must.

Tips: Where to get Company ID and Host?

For SAP Jam Collaboration with SAP Cloud Platform's Identity Authorizations Services(SAP CP IAS), Host can be found at the same place as the above SAP Successfactors Foundation's case. Company ID is SAP CP IAS's tenant name.

SAP Jam Collaboration provides its own analytics reports and collaboration dashboards already for analyzing collaboration behaviors. But of course, there are other third party analytic tools such as Google Analytics, which is a free and easy to use site views/clicks analytic tool, providing different flavors of analysis. SAP Jam Collaboration is providing capability to use other analytic tools, and this would give SAP Jam Collaboration site managers better data and information to improve enterprise collaboration.
