Track Portal Use With Google Analytics
You can use Google Analytics to track user selections, such as mouse clicks and taps, in the CSM Portal.
For example, you can track:

- Dashboard usage
- Service Catalog, including categories and services, usage
- Searches (from the toolbar Quick Search only)
- Action link clicks from the home page
User information, search criteria, and other data entered by users is not tracked.
