: Identify Multiple Visits from Same Source / Medium in Google Analytics I work at a reasonably large e-commerce retailer that's working on doing a lot more with Google Analytics. One of the things

@Miguel251

There is a simpler solution to set up the dimension "Date and Time" instead of "Date" which shows more interactions from one unique ID at once. It is not necessary to build another ga script, because GA already collected all data about particular unique id.

This is a great question and there are multiple ways it can be done. The cleanest solution I can think of is to send a non-interaction event to Google Analytics that attaches an event to a hit if a user already has a User ID set. This would give you the ability to filter by that event but would not affect bounce rate. I'm obviously not familiar with your implementation but below is a sample of what it would look like:

ga(function(tracker) {
// grab the User ID
var userId = tracker.get('userId');
// if the User ID is not already set, it will return undefined
if (!userId) {
// you would set the User ID and whatever else you need to here
var id = USER_ID;
ga('create', 'UA-12345678-9', 'auto', { 'userId': id });
ga('send', 'pageview');
} else {
ga('send', {
hitType: 'event',
eventCategory: 'Returning Users',
eventAction: 'Repeat Visit',
nonInteraction: true
});
ga('send', 'pageview');
}
});
