Category
The ‘Category’ dimension reports the product category of the hit. It is useful for implementations that use the products variable and want to see metrics around product category, such as top sellers or most viewed. This dimension can intentionally be blank if you don’t have any products on your site.
Populate this dimension with data
This dimension references the first part of the string in the products variable. Everything before the first semicolon (;) populates this dimension.
Dimension items
Since this variable is based on a custom string in your implementation, your organization determines what the dimension items are. ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ recommends that you group individual products into meaningful categories, using both the ‘Product’ and ‘Category’ dimensions.
TIP
In previous versions of ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics, some limitations to the ‘Category’ dimension were imposed due to its processing architecture. Those limitations have since been removed, allowing you to use any metric and any breakdown.
