从自定义Google Analytics（分析）跟踪器查看数据

Question

I am trying to track the usage of a custom feature on my website using Google Analytics and Custom Trackers (see: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/creating-trackers )

When I am creating the tracker, I am assigning a name like so

ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-X', 'auto', 'myTrackersName');

I am then later setting data onto my tracker

ga('myTrackersName.set', {
    projectId: id
 });

After the use is done using the feature triggered by a save event), I then send the data to GA

ga('myTrackersName.send', 'event', {
  eventCategory: 'Build Sent',
  eventAction: 'Success',
  eventLabel: timeElapsed
});

When I sign into the GA dashboard, I can see my 'Build Sent' events with the action and label properly set, but I can not find the rest of the tracker's info. When using the Google Analytics Debug extension, I can see that all of the information is being in the request, but I can not see it in any of the reports.

Is that data viewable, or do I need to enable some other feature to get access to it? Also, is there a way to have data that is sent from 'myTrackersName' to be set aside in GA reports so that the Event Categories are related (sent by) specifically to that tracker?

You cannot make up fieldnames like "projectId" and expect them to be displayed in the standard reports.

You ca, however, create a custom dimension in the property settings/custom definitions and name it "projectId" for the interface. In the code you need to refer to it via the prefix "dimension" and the numeric index. So for the first custom dimension this would look like

ga('myTrackersName.set', {
    'dimension1': id
 });

Even so this will not be part of the standard reports by default, you need to either set this as secondary dimension or create a custom report.
