The dashboard

Inside the NexTag dashboard

01 · Tag management

Configure hundreds of tags at once

Spreadsheet-style editor lets you copy/paste or drag-fill hundreds of tag configurations at once—including Google Analytics UTM parameter autogeneration. Each tag is printed with a unique code which you can look up. Label each tag with a human-friendly name, for example product name or SKU.

The campaign field helps you group tags with a similar purpose and the location field will help you remember where the tag is deployed. Both of these fields can be added as UTM tags for enhanced reporting in Google analytics. Finally once you are done configuring your tags you can lock them to prevent accidental misconfiguration.

Admins can also tap individual tags with their phones to open its individual config for quick tweaks.
