Goal Copy Extension Update

If you don’t know what this is, have a look at my previous post, Copying Goals in Google Analytics

This version has 3 new features:
Menu Button
1. Ability to clear a goal
In the new Options pulldown button you have 4 “Clear Goal” items. Selecting one of these will clear the corresponding goal and reset the name to “Empty”

2. Autosave after Pasting a Goal
The extension can now automatically save a goal after you paste it. This can be toggled on or off from the Options button. It defaults to off (does not automatically save). If you turn it on, when you paste a goal into the goal form, it automatically submits the form and returns you to the previous page.

3. Paste All button
The Paste All button is used from the ‘Profile Settings’ page that displays the Edit links for your four goals.

Profile Settings Page:
Profile Settings Page

From this page, the Paste All button will:

Navigate to the Goal Settings: G1 form
Populate that form with the goal that is saved in the first slot
Save the goal

Navigate to the Goal Settings: G2 form
Populate that form with the goal that is saved in the second slot
Save the goal

Navigate to the Goal Settings: G3 form
Populate that form with the goal that is saved in the third slot
Save the goal

Navigate to the Goal Settings: G4 form
Populate that form with the goal that is saved in the fourth slot
Save the goal

If any goals have been “Cleared” from the Options pulldown button, those goals will be skipped in the Paste All process.

Installation

Open this link in Firefoxinstall_dialogxpi.jpg

Then click Install Now.

Depending on your setup, Firefox may want to download the file instead of installing it directly. Just select “Open With. . .” and choose Firefox from the list of applications.

Thanks again to everyone who helped with suggestions and with troubleshooting.

    I can’t believe I didn’t think of this– great idea and I’ll definitely give this a spin sometime later today. I absolutely hate having to redo goals.

    Thanks, it’s working fine in mine FF3

    The “Paste All” function feels so good!

    It greatly facilitates the creation of segmented profiles, which i feel is underused because GA does not make it easy to do it. This tool fixes a part of the problem.
