Building custom queries

The following sections walk you through using the Tag Events Explore to create custom queries that answer:

Getting Tags in a Tag Group

Follow these steps to get a list of Tags in a Tag Group and the number of users who had the Tag set over the past 30 days. We only need to use the default filters.

 Note

  • This report does not return whether or not users still have the Tag set. To return that data, use the Audience with Attributes Explore.
  • If a Tag does not appear for selection in Performance Analytics, it means that no add or remove event has occurred for the Tag during the specified time range.

First, open the Tag Events explore, and then configure your query:

  1. Set up the filters:

    1. Leave Current Project Only set to is Yes.
    2. Set Date Range to is in the past 30 complete days.
    3. Leave Tag Action set to Add.
    4. Set Tag Group to the Tag Group you want to return Tags for.
    5. Set the Tag Name operator to is not null.

  2. In the sidebar, specify the value and measurement to display:

    1. Select Tag Events, then select the Dimension Tag Name.
    2. Select User Detail, then select the Measure User Count.

Now you are ready to get your data. Select Run, and you should see results similar to the below image. To save your custom query for later access, follow the steps in Saving Performance Analytics queries.
