I would like to use Google Analytic's visitor flow to understand the behaviour of my visitors.

My current visitor flow looks like this:



As you can see, my URL structure is not really friendly to this tool, and thus I'm having a hard time extracting any useful information from there.

I've seen that analytics.js allows us to send custom variables, including overriding the path.

I guess that I could override the path to give all pages of the same type a common (fake) path, something like:

/restaurant/123/index => /restaurant
/restaurant/456/index => /restaurant

/restaurant/123/order => /order
/restaurant/456/order => /order


but I would be losing the potentially precious information that the original path represents.

Is it possible to send a custom variable to Google Analytics instead, and have the visitor flow use the custom variable instead of the path when displaying the above flow?
