Why does no data show for events when I follow these instructions?
Susan,
There could be a number of reasons. Are you able to see any other data? Are you the authorized user for the Google Analytics account? A request submitted by your organization would have specified the user and email address to access this information. If that is you, be sure you are logging with that email address, your browser may be trying to log you in with another email address/account.
If you are unsure if the access request was submitted for you or a different user to have access, you may want to verify that with a System Administrator on your website. If you still have questions, please reach out to Client Support or your Account Manager.
Thank you.
