- Enter your GA4 property ID including the "p" in the "Property ID" field. You can find both in your GA4 URL.
- Click on "Create UA standard reports", select your desired report and save it. Done!
Important: The google account with which the reports are created should have at least marketer rights for the GA4 property so that reports can be created.
2. Compile reports in a collection
Once you have created and saved the reports, you can add them to your GA4 dashboard as a separate collection in the report library. Proceed as follows:
- Go to your report library
- Click on "Create new collection" and create an empty collection
- Name the collection "Universal Analytics"
- Create a new section heading "Audience"
- Drag your created reports from the "Audience" tab under the subheading
- Create a separate subheading for each tab and drag in the corresponding reports
- Save the collection
- Now publish the collection in the library (click on the three dots next to the collection and select "Publish")
