Google Analytics - Dashboard Question

[ReunionMarketing]

I'm looking to set up a dashboard widget in Google Analytics that does the following but can't :

Shows traffic sources in a table as the dimension, and wanting to show goal completions to a specific product page and then only show what the average time spent (by source) on just those product pages. It looks like it's showing the whole session duration for the entire source, but I want to create a secondary filter that is only showing the time spent on those specific pages.

Can anyone help - or is this possible?

Thanks all!

That's kind of what I was thinking - kind of a bummer for what we're doing here, but we are definitely getting pretty granular.

Thanks again for all your help!!

Linked reports, which you pin to dashboards, can’t have metric filters or secondary dimensions (which is what you're after).

See limitations here - https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6099989?hl=en

You can create the widget you're looking for using my example above, but it does require a drill-down, so will not be able to display on the dashboard.

The biggest problem that I am having is I want to group all of the product pages (which is a goal), then by source show the amount of time spent by source across just those pages. Do you know if this is possible?

Thank you again for all your help!!

I understand, but this is not really a limitation of GA but the nature of dashboards in general.They're not meant to be drilled down into, they're there as one-glance snapshots.

In GA dashboards, you can of course click the widget title on the dash, which takes you through to the actual table which then allows you to click the source dimension and see the page by avg. time on page.

That is helpful, but I can't find a way to drill down to a secondary dimension on the widgets on a dashboard. We are creating a dashboard with 12 helpful widgets to demonstrate how traffic is creating shopping behavior and this one would be extremely helpful, but I am having problems with some of the limitations within GA.

Is this possible?

i think the challenge is you want to use two dimension on one table. it would have been possible if you that particular dimension can have sub-dimension like in the case of campaign whereby you can have dimension drilldown. Campaign>>>google property

Hey,

I think this is how you want to set it up - http://gyazo.com/30d080d53fda667a388beac516766f74

Then select 'Converters' as the Segment - http://gyazo.com/a77ef5f1814f7177717b805023bd28d7

Hope that's what you wanted?
