Google Analytics
Umajin’s Cloud Services provide the ability to use Google Analytics with your Project.
Analytics Overview
Analytics can help you to measure the effectiveness of your Project and track the activity of your users.
These reports are available in real time and are viewable within a simple visual reporting tool.
Because the Umajin Editor can be used for so many wide and varied use cases, we have designed an analytics system that is equally flexible.
When you build your Projects, you are able to rig them with triggers that will log data to reporting and presentation tools.
