How can I tell if I am using Universal Analytics?

[EcommerceSite]

On my Google Analytics page it says at the top "Upgrade to Universal Analytics Upgrade to get a deeper understanding of your users through new tools and more accurate data."

Below that it talks about how to do it. I do not see what they are talking about for "Select an account and a property, then click Universal Analytics Upgrade."

But if I can into my change history is shows Changed By-System Property "http://www123.com" started transfer to Universal Analytics processing." This was on May 22nd and it hasn't said anything since. Why does it keep telling me to do it if it already has? It doesn't say transfer complete anywhere so I don't know if it finished or not.

Yup that makes sense. I need to change the code.

That is exactly what I am seeing. I need to get ecommerce figured out then just do a code replace all at once.

ThompsonPaul is right - the activation to Universal does not mean the code has been changed on your website, which is why you'll still see the old _gaq.push code. See my separate answer/screenshot

When you go to Admin -> Tracking Info -> Tracking code

If Universal has been activated, but the code has NOT been updated, you will see this;

Just to be clear - upgrading to Universal will NOT change the code on your website's page. You must do that manually yourself.

Clicking the upgrade button in the GA Dashboard will upgrade the GA Dashboard interface, but you must then take the new tracking snippet code it gives you and replace your web pages' old code with this new one.

That make sense?

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); This is the closest thing I see in my code. Looking in it yesterday I noticed I have a way to track User IDs which I think is exclusive to Universal. So strange.

[EcommerceSite]

That isn't there. I looked at the Google documentation and it has a screenshot of what that would look like but I don't have it.

Then you're probably already on Universal Analytics. The best way would be to check the tracking code to see if it matches with the UA syntax. If you see something like: ga('send', 'pageview'); in there you're all set and ready to use Universal Analytics.

Hello Niner52,

It sounds like the transfer may have been initiated, but not yet completed. Follow these steps to see if you have anything left to do:

• Visit Google Analytics

• Go to the 'Admin' area

• Under the property that will be using Google Universal Analytics, select the 'Universal Analytics upgrade.'

There it will list the next steps you need to take in order to complete the upgrade to UA.
