Menu link Tracking

Using Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager you can track the number of clicks on any link with a specific css class,  This is the result of one week of tracking the Global menu on the Library website.  We also know what page they were clicked on.

The table below shows the top 10 clicks from the library.csun.edu global menu in March 2023, and the 3 pages on which they were most frequently selected.
