ER: Feasibility of tracking the “Share your wins” and “Submit” buttons using Google Analytics

[JessicaLucindaCheng]

Note: This issue came from the Task List Dev Leads.

Emergent Requirement - Problem

Issue Description
Can Google Analytics' tags track the “Share your wins” button on the Wins page to see how many times "Share your wins" button is clicked? This way we can compare it to the number of wins submissions we get (aka how many times submit button is clicked).

Questions

• Is it possible to use Google Analytics' tags on the “Share your wins” button?
• If using Google Analytics' tags isn't feasible, is there another way to do it?

Note: From Wins form research conducted by UX Researcher Vivian.

What happens if this is not addressed

We won't know how many people start a Wins submission but don't complete it.

Recommended Action Items

• Create an issue to add a Google Analytics tag to the submit wins button, so that we can tell the number of times it is clicked by date range.
  • in the issue, indicate what resources beyond the normal team resources access a general member already has, that they will need to test and implement this issue.
• reference this ER in the resources of that issue
• add a ready for merge team label to the issue, so that it can get reviewed.
• add a link to that issue in this ER.
• when that issue is added to the prioritized backlog, close this ER.

Hi @JessicaLucindaCheng.

Please don't forget to add the proper labels to this issue. Currently, the labels for the following are missing:
Complexity, Role, Feature

NOTE: Please ignore the adding proper labels comment if you do not have 'write' access to this directory.

To add a label, take a look at Github's documentation here.

Also, don't forget to remove the "missing labels" afterwards.
To remove a label, the process is similar to adding a label, but you select a currently added label to remove it.

After the proper labels are added, the merge team will review the issue and add a "Ready for Prioritization" label once it is ready for prioritization.
