Google Analytics limitations

• The above mentioned method will only work for Crave Appless solution (not tablets).
• Google analytics are not real time - There is always going to be a delay between actions taken by the user and the reporting reflecting these actions.
• We recommend that once you have finished the configuration, you browse the application to generate some Google Analytics data and verify that your actions were reflected within the GA after a couple of hours.
• There are some circumstances that can affect the precision of taken analytical data. These typically include
  • Failed calls to Google Analytics - typically due to poor internet connectivity
  • Adblockers present on the users device
  • Sampling - a practise where subset of data is used to project the overall outcome
• For e-commerce data, the GA captured data might differ from Crave`s data stored within the database for the above mentioned reasons.
• Crave does not store non e-commerce data in the database.
