 * Hello, I am new to GA and GTM and this plugin has been a great asset.
 * I’ve read a lot of articles on User Ids but I’m having trouble creating the data
   layers and variables necessary to see this information in my GA reports. I would
   like to see the activity from logged in users in GA but at the moment all I see
   are client ids despite logging in as a member.
 * I have an authentication system (Ultimate Members) and I created a “visitorType”
   data layer in GTM based on the information I found on your HowTo articles and
   this support thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-id-3?replies=2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-id-3?replies=2)
 * Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

 * Hi,
 * You will need to activate the Visitor ID option in plugin settings to use this
   feature.
 * Next you will have to create a new Data Layer Variable to read the visitorId 
   variable from the datalayer.
 * Next you will need to update all of your GA tags: open the “More settings” section
   and the “Fields to set” panel and add a new row with the field name userId and
   assign the previously created Data Layer Variable to this field.
 * I hope that will help,
    Thomas Geiger
