Use with Template Tags
The settings applied during campaign launch will affect URLs customized using Template Tags. If a URL in your template contains four Google Analytics Template Tags (source, medium, campaign and content) but you only select two Google Analytics tags in the wizard (source and medium), only those two Google Analytics tags will be applied to the content when the campaign is deployed. Data for the other two tags (campaign and content) is not included.
