I just started testing some of the features for a WordPress Google Analytics plugin that I’m working on when I discovered event tracking hadn’t been enabled for my account.
While trying to figure out if there was any way to get in to the event tracking beta, I discovered that you can access the Event Tracking report by typing in analytics/reporting/events as the URL.
This doesn’t work if you have more than one account as it defaults to the first account listed alphabetically. If, like me, you have analytics accounts for several different sites under your Google account, then you need to add get the id parameter from the query string to view the correct account.
To access Google Analytics Event Tracking reports in a multiple account setting:
- Go to the Dashboard page for the desired account.
- Find and copy the 7 numbers that make up the id in the query string (id=0000000).
- Replace the 0′s in the following url with your id https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/events?id=0000000.
Done.

very nice solution….
its very helpful..
thanks !
I still have not the link in the menu…
I don’t know why ?!
You won’t get the links until it is activated.
To get around this problem, the next time you access event tracking click the little “add to dashboard” button.
I have the link https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/events?id=0000000 pasted in my browser ( I have replaced 0′s with 8 number id ). But there are no events shown. How do I add an event.
Do you have any _trackEvent calls on your site?
If you need to learn about event tracking try the Conversion University Event tracking lesson, and the Google Code event tracking guide.
