How to Customize Your GA4 Reports

GA4 Standard reports give us a lot of great insights into our user's behavior and the general course of our tracking efforts. GA4 reporting interface has proven to be really flexible since it allows us to modify it in a way that was simply impossible to do in Universal Analytics. However, to be able to do this, you need to know where to look and how to activate some of these reports.

Sounds quite challenging, right? Well, fortunately, Sofiia took the initiative and created this great GA4 Standard Reports customization video in which she will show you how to find what you need and even how to create a Landing Page report that is not available in GA4.

So relax and follow along while she shows us how to set this up.

Wow what a mission to customise ones reports. I don't understand why Google didn't just keep all of the attributes in the reporting and allowed the user to customise and remove ones they don't need. Sure the new GA4 interface is cleaner but I didn't know that you could event get to those attributes without needing to customise. I've been using Data Studio for over a year just to get access to my data with the new GA4 properties... thanks for this video, I do wish things could be a bit more clear from GA instructions.

Dear Admin,

I am working on a React Single Page Application.

Due to some business needs, I want to use my CUSTOM_PAGE_VIEW rather than using the Default PAGE_VIEW in the GTM SIDE.

So I disabled sending the default SEND_PAGE_VIEW as FALSE from GTM.

May I know, Will CUSTOM_PAGE_VIEW affects any other valuable reports belonging to default PAGE_VIEW like Page Views, Screens, Session Views, Average User Engagement Time, etc...?

What are the things I have to be aware of when disabling the default SEND_PAGE_VIEW as FALSE from GTM?

Thanks in advance

We must to be careful with the Landing Pages report in GA4, now the Page Views are attributed to the Landing Page where the session started. For example, if you go to Engagement/Pages and Screens, and you compare the Page Views for the dimensions “Page path” vs “Landing Page” you will see that the same URL/Page shows very different numbers and are much higher for “Landing Pages” that’s because of how GA4 is counting/attributing the Page Views, all to the first visited page.

At 4:48 in the video, I don't see the same options as you see. When I type "Landing Page, " I only see "Landing page + query string." Any ideas on why this is? And is there a way to get the landing page without the query string?

When you change default views this apply just for personal use or for all users?
