The USGS is enabling a new BisonConnect service called Analytics.
This new service is designed to help access all of your Google Analytics data in Google Spreadsheets. The Google Analytics spreadsheet add-on brings you the power of the Google Analytics API combined with the power of data manipulation in Google Spreadsheets. With this tool, you can:
- Query data from multiple views (profiles),
- Create custom calculations from your report data,
- Create dashboards with embedded data visualizations,
- Schedule reports to run automatically so your data is always current,
- Easily control who can see these data and visualizations by leveraging Google Spreadsheet’s existing sharing and privacy features.
This service has to be enabled for everyone in USGS to be used. Once the Analytics service has been enabled (Next Wednesday) you will see a “Terms of Service” page the next time you log onto your BisonConnect email, (this will occur to all Google Apps for Government users), simply accept the terms and you will then be directed to your email. If you have no plans to use the service, no further action is required.
