Google Analytics: How to Get the “Install Manually” Code and Set Up Your Site with Streamline

Unlock Deeper Website Insights with Google Analytics

Last updated: August 2025

Right now, Streamline provides only limited analytics—you’ll see a monthly summary of site visits on your My Dashboard screen, but not detailed reports. We don’t offer a page-by-page breakdown of visits or historical tracking beyond the past month.

For more in-depth insights, we recommend Google Analytics. It’s a free service from Google that provides powerful reports—everything from which pages people are visiting to how long they stay, and even real-time visitor counts. To use it, Google will give you a short code snippet to paste into your website. Once we add it to your Streamline site, Analytics will begin tracking right away.

Quick Sub-Menu

What You’ll Need

  • A Google account with access to your district’s Analytics.

  • A Google Analytics 4 (GA4) property (Universal Analytics is sunset).

  • The Install manually script snippet from GA4 or your GTM Container ID if you prefer Tag Manager.

Step 1: Create a GA4 Property

If you don’t already have Google Analytics:

Step 2: Locate Your “Install Manually” Code

  1. In GA4, click Admin (gear icon).

  2. Under Property, open Data Streams → select your Web stream.

  3. Click View tag instructions → choose Install manually.

  4. Copy the entire <script> … </script> snippet with your G-XXXXXXXXXX ID.

Step 3: Send the Snippet to Streamline

  • Paste the entire snippet into your support ticket or email.

  • We’ll add it into your site’s backend so it runs on every page.

Step 4: Confirm Your Data is Flowing

  • Check Realtime reports in GA4 to confirm visits.

  • Full reports start populating within 24–48 hours.

Optional: Use Google Tag Manager Instead

If your district already uses Google Tag Manager (GTM), you can send us your GTM installation code instead of the GA4 snippet. Here’s how to get it:

  1. Log in to Google Tag Manager.

  2. Choose the correct Account and Container for your website.

  3. In the top-right corner, click your Container ID (it looks like GTM-XXXXXXX).

  4. A window will pop up with two code snippets labeled:

    • One for the <head> of your site

    • One for right after the opening <body> tag

  5. Copy both snippets in full.

  6. Send them to Streamline through your support ticket or email.

👉 Once we add the GTM code to your site, you can manage your Google Analytics and other tracking tags directly inside your Tag Manager account—without editing your site again.

FAQ + Privacy Tips

  • UA codes? No—use GA4 only (G-XXXXXXXXXX).

  • Privacy needs? We can add consent defaults to block ads features if desired.

Bottom Line

Google Analytics gives you real-time, detailed, and historical insights into your site traffic that Streamline’s dashboard doesn’t provide. Just:

  1. Create a GA4 property.

  2. Copy your Install manually snippet.

  3. Send it to Streamline.

  4. Start tracking your community’s interactions in depth.
