There are two form solutions we recommend for Cascade users.  Both are user friendly and compatible with Cascade:  Microsoft Office 365 forms can be built and managed by the user; view our tutorial Formstack is our latest solution available at NMSU.

Cascade does not natively offer features to track the analytics of its sites.  We recommend using Google Analytics.  You can use Google Analytics to track and collect data analytics about your site or a collection of sites.  
There are connectors within Cascade that will allow you to addyourGoogle Analytics account to see basic inf connectors.pngormation within Cascade.  While it is an option, we have found that most Web Admins prefer to view and manage their analytics through the Google Analytics dashboard.  It is simply a better way to view and manage your data across single or multiple sites.
To get started, here are the steps we recommend:
  1.  Create a Google Analytics account.
  2.  Add the name, URL, and industry of the website you want to track.
  3.  Add a view to your property.
  4.  Add your tracking code directly after the head tag of your site in Cascade ( We can assist with this step).
  5.  Visit your GA portal and verify the code is working.
For a more details, I'd recommend viewing this GUIDE that further explains the process.  Once you have your tracking code, you can share that with us and we can assist with adding it after the <head> tag on your homepage.
Submit a Cascade Access Request Form  and our team will be in touch once the request is processed.

It can take time for Google to crawl your new Cascade site.  You can help boost your  Search  Engine  Optimization by inserting page metadata information and tagging your page content. Metadatais part of the HTML tags that describe your page content to  search  engines and website visitors. Metadata holds key information for all  search  engines that appear in the HTML code of a website page and tells the search  engine what the page is about, and is the first impression and point of contact for all  search  engines. 

 

You can easily add your metadata tags/content in Cascade via the edit button on any page. Once metadata has been added, it will take some time for   search   engine s to crawl your site and hopefully boost your site's results.
