Having "two" separate views of the same website


Hi community! 

I’m trying to setup the analytics of my website so that I am able to see two different versions of the same website depending on certain attributes (i.e. if the user is landing on the website through a paid campaign or organic search) → the idea is to be able to “toggle” between the 2 views of the events so that I can compare them both.

Another example would be languages → following the same idea, I would like to be able to compare 2 languages of the same website.

for what it’s worth, I’m using segment to send the data to amplitude.

 

Thanks for the help!

Hi @Edgar Arturo Mendez Ortiz . “View” is a concept that existed in Google’s Universal Analytics….which will be sunsetted very soon, the new GA4 then does not have Views.

Amplitude takes a similar approach in that it doesn’t have Views. The workaround is that you could send your different data cohorts to separate Amplitude projects...you’ll have to craft this when the data is sent to Amplitude (i.e. passing the different project IDs), it’s not like the old GA where you sent to a single property and then crafted the views from there.

No problem. One additional point…having multiple projects means multiple sets of configuration work. Which can clearly become laborious and tougher to maintain long term, so I’d certainly take a step back and assess whether you truly need to make such data silos based on language, etc (rather than having all in a single project and then just having user properties to split language, etc).
