When you need to report on information that Analytics doesn't surface by default, you will need to create custom dimensions and metrics. In the previous video, you learned about custom events and event parameters. In this video, you'll learn about custom dimensions and metrics, why they're useful, and how to configure them on your website for a Google Analytics 4 (GA4) property using the data from the custom event.
