In this article, you will find a list of specific categories that contain popular dimensions from UA and which ones you can use in GA4.
Important:
- Some dimensions did not follow from Universal to GA4
- Some dimensions are not yet available in Google's API. We are actively monitoring new additions to the API and once they become available, we will look into adding them to DashThis
- Some dimensions do not have an exact match however, for many of them we found a similar dimension to help feed your dashboards
