[Note]Note

Given a Google Analytics drill down URL, you may notice the URL a hash parameter fragment of the form /aXXXXXXXXwYYYYYYYYpZZZZZZZZ/. In this case, XXXXXXXX is your 8 digit account ID, YYYYYYYY is your 8 digit web property ID and ZZZZZZZZ is your 8 digit profile ID. Each of these values is required to build a valid report drill down URL.

[Note]Note

If the CoreMedia Elastic Social Extension is enabled and social tracking is configured, webPropertyId must be set to the same value as socialTrackingId in the Elastic Social configuration.
