    a68tbird ,

     

    Are you using Get Data-> Service-> Google Analytics Report(Preview)? I couldn't found any "plug&play" option in the navigator. You only need to enter the  website ID.

     

     

    The report will be several pages as below:

Well, I resorted to using that product from Havens Consulting. I guess the funtionality described in that article isn't available anymore. When you try to "Get Data" from a service through the PB Online client, you're only offered connections through apps, and GA isn't an offered service anymore.  When getting data through the desktop client, GA is an available online service, however it seems you have to build your reports right from scratch, which I'm sure will be possible, but was hoping to have the benefit of starting off with some key report visuals already to go. 

 

Thanks
