Why measuring is so important?
Statistics should form part of the overall strategy of the website, as indicators of its success. The accurate compilation and expert analysis of data enables corporate decision-making to enhance the Commission’s image and reach.

User behavior can be measured through many indicators, which when cross-checked can provide a powerful feedback channel with strategic relevance.
This is a process of continuous technological awareness.

Context of the relaunch www.cepal.org
ECLAC’s website is a priority tool as part of an outreach and communication strategy designed to improve access to substantive information about economic and social development in LATAM.
On May 2013 we were asked to change that www.cepal.org into a new website developed with Drupal after 13 years using an internally developed CMS.
From a team of 3 people, we grew into a temporary 9 people team.
Old website: more than 20 content types and 94 minisites, with thousands of content.

Tokens and custom dimensions
Tokens are small bits of text that can be placed into larger documents via simple placeholders.
Dimensions describe characteristics of your users, their sessions and actions. Custom dimensions and metrics allow you to combine Google Analytics data with non-Google Analytics data.

Tokens and custom dimensions
Defining custom dimensions in GA + reporting with secondary dimensions + advanced search for more segmenting. 18

Content grouping and filtered views
We need to prepare special content grouping for Press Centre as they have several content types related to news.
Content Grouping lets you group content into a logical structure in order to provide every kind of business the ability to group its contents according to their own characteristics.

Custom reports & Dashboards
Segmentation in process: Defining segmented goals and reports for each division/unit/office. Developing GA dashboards and reports for each one. Giving training in order to let focal points check statistics , extract reports and
analyze data according to their particular needs.
A Custom Report is a report that you create. You pick the dimensions (City and Browser, for example) and metrics (Sessions, Pageviews, and Bounce Rate, for example) and decide how they should be displayed. You must specify at least one dimension and one metric.
Dashboards are a collection of widgets that give you an overview of the reports and metrics you care about most. Dashboards let you monitor many metrics at once, so you can quickly check the health of your accounts or see correlations between different reports. Dashboards are easy to create, customize and share.
