Google Analytics Default Settings

My team has been attempting to set a default account and date range for the GA connector. Thus far we have not been able to pinpoint the reason why the Cube resets these settings after every server refresh.

We have looked into the config files but to no avail. I have one other thought, which would be to try to work with the GA connector from the Google side.

Has anyone run into this problem? Again, the problem is that the connector "forgets" which account to use and resets the date range to only current date. Picture is attached to illustrate.

  Have also run into this problem when setting up GA initially via documentation. A slightly cumbersome workaround is to refresh the connections and then update the block, making sure to "click" on all the necessary specifications i.e. accounts selected, date range, in order to get the data updated.

  Steven Pan Actually the best way to accomplish using GA data is to build a data extractor using the API. This is how I ended up implementing it for my client. Please reach out to Rossi Labs if you need assistance.
