Some report rows show a bare page id instead of a title
What you are seeing
Some report rows show a bare page id instead of a title.
#Why it happens
Report data comes from Google keyed on page id, and titles are looked up separately using the viewer's own Confluence access. If the viewer cannot see the page, or it was deleted, the title cannot be resolved.
#What to do
Expected behaviour. Note that this means row counts themselves are not filtered by the viewer's Confluence permissions, only the titles are. Use Allowed groups if that matters, and leave the Raw paths panel off.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Connect Google Analytics / Disconnect | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > Connect Google | Starts a Google sign-in popup. The connection is site-level: one admin connects once and the whole Confluence site uses it. Disconnect revokes access at Google and deletes the stored tokens. |
GA4 property | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > Connect Google | Which GA4 property the in-Confluence reports read from. Also scopes the data stream, API secret and custom dimension controls. |
Measurement ID | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > View tracking | The GA4 tag ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX). This is the single required setting: nothing is collected anywhere until it is set. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Report table page size | - | Applies to the Content, Spaces, Searches and Raw tables. |
Report filter sizes | - | Per report query. |
Reports page date range | - | Default 30 days. |
#A few things that catch people out
There are no space-level settings. The space reports page is a view only; everything is configured once for the whole site.
#Related
No page views appear in Google Analytics at all, even hours after setup
The most common cause is a Measurement ID that is not a GA4 ID. Anything not starting with
Views seem to be sent (no errors anywhere) but nothing lands in the property you are looking at
A valid-looking G- ID that belongs to a different or non-existent property. Google accepts
Everything else
The rest of this family.
Found it? Good.
