4.1 Overview

Before AIUNIFY Analytics can collect and display Website activity, you must first create a Website inside your Analytics account.

A Website tells AIUNIFY Analytics:

  1. What Website or Website path you want to track
  2. Which Tracking Type to use
  3. Whether tracking is currently enabled
  4. Whether Outbound Clicks should be recorded
  5. Whether Advanced Visitor Events should be collected
  6. Whether Session Replays should be enabled
  7. Whether Email Reports should be sent
  8. Whether statistics can be shared publicly
  9. Whether bots, query parameters, IP addresses, and specified IP exclusions should affect tracking
  10. Which Custom Domain should be used for the Tracking Code, when available

The actual Add website form requires a Website Name and Website address, then provides the Tracking Type and available tracking controls.

The basic creation process is:

Websites → Add website → Enter Website Details → Choose Tracking Type → Configure Tracking → Review Optional Settings → Create → Install Tracking Code

4.2 Before You Add a Website

Before beginning, make sure you know:

  1. The Website or Website path you want to track
  2. Whether it uses https:// or http://
  3. Whether you want Lightweight Tracking or Advanced Tracking
  4. Whether you want Outbound Click tracking
  5. Whether you need Visitor Events, Heatmaps, or Session Replays
  6. Whether certain IP addresses should be excluded
  7. Whether you want Email Reports
  8. Whether you want to share Public Statistics

Most importantly, determine your Tracking Type before creating the Website.

As explained in Chapter 3, the interface warns that the Tracking Type cannot be changed later.

4.3 Who Can Add a Website?

Website creation is available to the primary account user when the account has capacity to add another Website.

Two conditions can prevent Website creation.

Team Access

If you are currently operating through shared Team access, the system does not allow you to create a Website from that Team context. It returns you to Websites with a no-access notification.

Website Limit

Your account may have a limit on the number of Websites that can be created.

If you have reached that limit:

  1. Add website may be disabled, or
  2. Analytics may return you to the Websites page with a feature-limit notice.

The Website creation controller checks the account's Website limit before allowing creation.

Availability: The number of Websites you can create depends on the limits assigned to your AIUNIFY Analytics account.

4.4 Opening the Add Website Screen

To create a Website:

  1. Sign in to AIUNIFY Analytics.
  2. Select Websites from the navigation.
  3. Locate the Add website button.
  4. Click Add website.
  5. The Add website screen opens.

The Websites page describes itself as the place to view and manage all added Websites and provides the Add website action when your account can create another property.

The creation screen follows the breadcrumb:

Websites → Add website

4.5 Step 1 — Enter the Website Name

The first field is:

Name

Enter a recognizable internal name for the Website.

Examples:

  1. AIUNIFY Main Website
  2. Corporate Website
  3. Sales Landing Page
  4. Customer Portal
  5. Product Store
  6. Insurance Lead Funnel
  7. Recruiting Website

The Name is how the Website will be identified inside AIUNIFY Analytics.

It does not need to be identical to the domain name.

Both Name and Website are required fields.

Recommended naming practice

Use a name that makes the property easy to recognize if you eventually track several Websites.

For example, instead of:

Website 1

use:

AIUNIFY Corporate Site

or:

Insurance Campaign Landing Page

4.6 Step 2 — Enter the Website Address

The next field is:

Website

The Website field consists of:

  1. A protocol selector
  2. The Website/domain field

Available protocols are:

  1. https://
  2. http://


For most modern secure Websites, select:

https://

Then enter the Website address.

For example:

example.com

Do not unnecessarily repeat the protocol inside the Website field because the protocol is selected separately.

4.7 Tracking a Domain, Subdomain, or Path

The Website configuration can be associated with a specific:

  1. Domain
  2. Subdomain
  3. Domain path

The interface states that tracking only works on the domain, subdomain, or path specified for that Website.

Examples include:

example.com

shop.example.com

example.com/store

This is important when your business operates multiple Website properties.

If you create Analytics for:

example.com/store

do not assume that the same Website configuration automatically represents unrelated domains or paths outside the configured property.

4.8 Step 3 — Select a Custom Domain, When Available

If Custom Domains are available to your account, an additional field appears:

Custom domain

This field determines the domain used for the Analytics Tracking Code URL.

The Website form only displays this selector when compatible Custom Domains are available.

The interface describes this option as useful for using a Custom Domain for the tracking-code URL.

If you do not see Custom domain, continue with the standard Analytics domain provided by the system.

Custom Domains will be covered in detail later in this manual.

4.9 Step 4 — Choose the Tracking Type

The next field is:

Tracking type

You must choose:

Lightweight tracking

or

Advanced tracking

The form uses these exact options and dynamically adjusts other settings depending on which mode you select.

Lightweight Tracking

Choose Lightweight when you want a simpler privacy-focused configuration without persistent visitor identifiers.

Advanced Tracking

Choose Advanced when you need capabilities such as:

  1. Detailed Visitor history
  2. Visitor Events
  3. Heatmaps
  4. Session Replays
  5. Custom Parameters
Important: The Tracking Type cannot be changed later through the normal Website configuration. Make this decision before clicking Create.

4.10 How the Form Changes by Tracking Type

When you change Tracking type, AIUNIFY Analytics automatically changes the form to show or hide settings associated with the selected mode.

When Lightweight tracking is selected, Advanced-only controls are hidden.

When Advanced tracking is selected, the Advanced-compatible controls are displayed.

You do not need to reload the page.

This behavior helps prevent you from configuring functionality that is incompatible with the selected Tracking Type.

4.11 Step 5 — Configure Tracking

The next switch is:

Tracking

This setting enables or disables tracking for the Website.

The interface describes the setting as:

Enable or disable tracking of the website completely.

Tracking enabled

AIUNIFY Analytics can collect supported activity after the Tracking Code has been installed.

Tracking disabled

The Website remains in your Analytics account, but Website tracking is disabled.

For most new installations, leave Tracking enabled unless you intentionally want to create the Website configuration before beginning collection.

4.12 Step 6 — Track Outbound Clicks

The next available control is:

Track outbound clicks

This setting records supported clicks on links that take visitors outside the Website.

Examples include clicks to:

  1. Partner Websites
  2. Social profiles
  3. External booking systems
  4. Affiliate Websites
  5. Vendor Websites
  6. Third-party payment pages
  7. External resources

The interface describes this control as enabling or disabling tracking for user clicks on links that go outside the Website.

Outbound Click tracking is not limited to the Advanced Tracking form section, although account feature limits may determine whether the switch is available.

Enable it if outbound Website behavior is important to your Analytics strategy.

4.13 Step 7 — Track Visitors Events — Advanced Tracking

If Advanced tracking is selected, an additional control can appear:

Track visitors events

This records supported visitor interactions such as:

  1. Mouse clicks
  2. Form submissions
  3. Resizes
  4. Scrolls


Visitor Events provide considerably more behavioral detail than Pageviews alone.

Example

A Pageview may tell you:

A visitor loaded your pricing page.

Visitor Events can provide additional information about interactions occurring while that visitor is using the page.

This capability becomes important when analyzing detailed visitor behavior and Session activity.

Availability: Visitor Event tracking may depend on the usage/features available to your account.

4.14 Step 8 — Session Replays — Advanced Tracking

When Advanced tracking is selected and Session Replay functionality is available, the form can display:

Session replays

Enable this setting if you want AIUNIFY Analytics to collect the supported activity required for visual Session Replays.

The form checks both:

  1. Whether Session Replays are enabled for the Analytics system
  2. Whether your account has access to Replay usage

before making the control available.

Session Replays will be covered in dedicated chapters later in this manual.

4.15 Step 9 — Email Reports

When Email Reports are enabled for the system and available to your account, the Website form provides an Email Report switch.

The interface describes Email Reports as providing simple Website Analytics through email.

Enable this option if you want Analytics summaries for the Website delivered through email.

If the feature is unavailable for your account, the option may be:

  1. Hidden
  2. Disabled
  3. Restricted by your account configuration

The creation screen checks account availability before allowing Email Reports to be enabled.

4.16 Step 10 — Public Statistics

The Add Website screen contains a collapsible section labeled:

Public statistics

Open this section if you want to make overall Website statistics accessible through a shareable Analytics link.

The system describes Public Statistics as allowing you to share overall statistics through a link.

To enable it:

  1. Expand Public statistics.
  2. Turn on Public statistics.
  3. Decide whether you want to protect the public statistics page with a password.

The creation form contains both the enable switch and the optional password field.

4.17 Public Statistics Password

When using Public Statistics, you can enter a password for the public statistics page.

The system allows a password of up to 64 characters in the creation form.

The interface guidance states that leaving the password field empty disables password protection.

Therefore:

Public Statistics ON + Password entered

→ statistics page can be password protected.

Public Statistics ON + Password left blank

→ no Public Statistics password is configured.

Security recommendation: If Website Analytics should only be shared with selected people, configure appropriate protection rather than exposing the statistics publicly without restriction.

4.18 Step 11 — Open Advanced Settings

The Website creation form contains another collapsible section labeled:

Advanced

Expand this section to access additional tracking controls.

The available Advanced settings include:

  1. Bot Exclusion
  2. Track Query Parameters
  3. IP Tracking, when available
  4. Excluded IPs
  5. Session Replays – Hide Text Selector


These settings are optional and should be configured according to how you want the Website's Analytics data collected.

4.19 Bot Exclusion

The first Advanced option is:

Bot exclusion

When enabled, AIUNIFY Analytics attempts to exclude widely known bots from tracking.

The application gives examples such as:

  1. Google Bot
  2. Yahoo Bot


Why use Bot Exclusion?

Automated bots can generate Website activity that is not equivalent to real human visitor behavior.

Excluding known bots can help keep Analytics reports focused more closely on actual visitor activity.

Enable this option when that matches your reporting requirements.

4.20 Track Query Parameters

The next Advanced control is:

Track query parameters

URL query parameters are the values that can appear after a ? in a Website URL.

For example:

example.com/page?source=email

When Track query parameters is enabled, Analytics can retain query parameters instead of ignoring them.

Consider enabling this when:

  1. Query parameters distinguish campaigns or page states
  2. Your Website uses meaningful URL parameters
  3. You need URLs with different parameters reported separately

Consider leaving it disabled when:

  1. Parameters create unnecessary variations of the same page
  2. They contain information you do not want included in Analytics URLs
  3. Tracking them would unnecessarily fragment your Pageview reporting

4.21 IP Tracking — Advanced Tracking

If IP Tracking has been enabled for AIUNIFY Analytics, an additional switch may appear:

IP tracking

This control is associated with Advanced Tracking in the Website creation form.

The interface specifically recommends only enabling IP Tracking if you have obtained the appropriate consent from your users to store IP information.

If the setting does not appear, IP Tracking is not currently available for that configuration.

4.22 Excluded IPs

The Advanced section contains:

Excluded IPs

Use this field to specify IP addresses you do not want Analytics to track.

Enter multiple IP addresses as comma-separated values.

This can be useful for excluding traffic generated by:

  1. Your office
  2. Internal staff
  3. Developers
  4. Quality-assurance teams
  5. Other known internal sources

when you know their applicable IP addresses.

Example format

192.0.2.10,192.0.2.25

Use this field carefully. An incorrectly excluded IP may remove legitimate Website activity from your Analytics data.

4.23 Session Replays — Hide Text Selector

The Advanced section also provides:

Session replays - Hide text selector

This field allows you to enter CSS selectors identifying Website text that should be hidden in Session Replays.

The interface provides an example format similar to:

.custom-class,.another-custom-class

and states that the CSS selectors determine which text should be hidden.

You may enter multiple selectors separated by commas.

This setting is particularly important when certain Website content should not appear in Replay data.

Possible uses

Depending on your Website structure, you could use selectors to hide areas containing:

  1. Account information
  2. Customer details
  3. Form content
  4. Sensitive on-page values
  5. Other elements you do not want visible in Session Replays

Your selector must correspond to actual CSS selectors used on your Website.

4.24 Review the Website Configuration

Before clicking Create, review the complete configuration.

Confirm:

Website Details

  1. Name is correct
  2. Protocol is correct
  3. Domain or path is correct
  4. Custom Domain is correct, if used

Tracking

  1. Tracking Type is correct
  2. Tracking is enabled if you want collection to begin
  3. Outbound Click preference is correct

Advanced Tracking

If using Advanced Tracking:

  1. Visitor Events preference is correct
  2. Session Replay preference is correct
  3. IP Tracking preference is correct where available
  4. Replay privacy selector is configured if needed

Reports and Sharing

  1. Email Reports preference is correct
  2. Public Statistics preference is correct
  3. Public Statistics password is configured if required

Advanced Collection

  1. Bot Exclusion preference is correct
  2. Query Parameter Tracking preference is correct
  3. Excluded IPs are correct

This review is especially important because Tracking Type cannot be changed later through the normal Website settings.

4.25 Step 12 — Click Create

After reviewing the configuration:

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the Add Website form.
  2. Click Create.

The form's final action is explicitly labeled Create.

AIUNIFY Analytics then validates the Website information.

The source confirms that Name and Website are required, and it also checks whether the entered Website/domain is allowed.

4.26 What Happens When the Website Is Created

After successful Website creation, AIUNIFY Analytics:

  1. Creates the Website record.
  2. Generates a unique Tracking Code key for that Website.
  3. Stores the Website's selected tracking configuration.
  4. Returns you to the Websites area.
  5. Opens the Website's Tracking Code installation workflow.

The application generates a unique tracking/pixel key when the Website is created and redirects back to Websites with the tracking-code modal requested.

This is the transition from:

Website Configuration

to:

Tracking Code Installation

4.27 Your Website's Tracking Code Is Unique

Each created Website receives its own unique Tracking Code identifier.

This identifier is associated with that specific Website configuration.

Do not assume that a Tracking Code copied from one Analytics Website should be installed on another unrelated Website.

When managing multiple properties, always obtain the Tracking Code from the correct Website record.

4.28 If the Website Cannot Be Created

If creation does not complete, review the form for errors.

Potential source-supported causes include:

Missing Name

The Name field is required.

Missing Website

The Website field is required.

Website limit reached

Your account has reached its available Website limit.

Team context

Website creation is not permitted while operating under the Team context shown in the source.

Blacklisted Domain

The application can reject a Website if its domain appears on the system's blacklisted-domain configuration.

Correct the indicated issue and submit the form again.

4.29 Understanding Feature-Limited Controls

You may notice that certain controls are visible but disabled.

For example, the Add Website form checks account-level availability for:

  1. Outbound/event-related tracking
  2. Visitor Events
  3. Session Replays
  4. Email Reports


A disabled switch does not necessarily indicate a malfunction.

It generally means that the associated functionality is not currently available under your Analytics account configuration.

Throughout this manual, these features will be marked as conditional where appropriate.

4.30 Recommended Configuration — Lightweight Website

For a straightforward Lightweight Analytics setup, a typical starting configuration might focus on:

Name

Your recognizable Website name

Website

Correct domain or path

Tracking Type

Lightweight tracking

Tracking

Enabled

Track Outbound Clicks

Enabled if external-link activity is important

Email Reports

According to preference and availability

Bot Exclusion

According to reporting preference

Track Query Parameters

According to Website structure

Excluded IPs

Add internal IPs when appropriate

This provides a clean starting point without Advanced Visitor tracking.

4.31 Recommended Configuration — Advanced Website

For a Website where deeper behavioral Analytics is required, the starting configuration may include:

Name

Your recognizable Website name

Website

Correct domain or path

Tracking Type

Advanced tracking

Tracking

Enabled

Track Outbound Clicks

Enabled where useful

Track Visitors Events

Enabled when detailed interactions are needed

Session Replays

Enabled when available and appropriate

Email Reports

According to preference

Bot Exclusion

According to reporting needs

Track Query Parameters

According to Website structure

IP Tracking

Only when appropriate and available

Excluded IPs

Configured for traffic that should not be measured

Session Replays – Hide Text Selector

Configured when Website content should be hidden from recordings

These are recommendations for how to think through the form—not requirements. Your configuration should match your organization's actual Analytics, privacy, and operational needs.

4.32 Do Not Install Tracking Yet Until You Have the Correct Code

Creating the Website prepares the property inside AIUNIFY Analytics, but creating the Website does not by itself begin collecting Website traffic.

The correct Tracking Code must still be installed on the Website.

Once the Website has been successfully created, the system surfaces the Tracking Code installation workflow.

That installation step is important enough to have its own chapter.

4.33 Website Creation Checklist

Before moving forward, verify:

  1. Website has been created
  2. Correct Website Name was used
  3. Correct protocol was selected
  4. Correct domain/subdomain/path was entered
  5. Correct Tracking Type was selected
  6. Tracking is enabled if collection should begin
  7. Outbound Click settings are configured
  8. Visitor Events are configured if using Advanced Tracking
