At Ruler Analytics we want to be sure you get the most out of your data you are tracking within your dashboard. Completing onboarding is key to ensuring you have a full and complete data set within your dashboard to allow for accurate and smooth flowing Integrations and reports.

There are main areas to focus on

​Adding your JavaScript 

To get started you will first need to add your Ruler JavaScript to your website in the footer. The JavaScript allows you to track visits, forms and calls so is a crucial first step in implementation. 

Your Ruler JavaScript can be found in your Ruler dashboard here.

​Set up Call Tracking

If you are on one of our call tracking packages, you will need to set up the dynamic number insertion on your website to track your inbound calls. 

Add the class name, given to you in your set up instructions upon sign up, to the corresponding number on your website.

​Enable Form Tracking

Enable Ruler to automatically track your forms in your dashboard here.
​
If after performing a few test submissions your forms are not landing in the dashboard let a member of the support team know and they can investigate. 

If your forms are within a Iframe, you will need to ensure the Ruler JavaScript is added to the Iframe as well as on the website.

Further detail on the above three steps can be found in the Integration guide. 

We always recommend you follow your custom set up instructions that your account manager provides to you, you can request a copy of this any time from [email protected]

If you want to check over your set up please review our guide here.

In your dashboard there are some steps you can take to configure your data.

While Ruler can track the activity on your website, there are certain things that will need to be implemented  to ensure you get the most out of the visit, form and call data you see in your dashboard.
