Hope somebody can help, I'm using GTM to push a userId variable over to google analytics, i can see the data in the chrome console / dataLayer but nothing is showing in the userID view on analytics. I'm using this code on my site at the top of the head:

<script>
 dataLayer = 
 dataLayer.push( 'userId': <%= currentUser.number %> );
</script>
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i)w[l]=w[l])(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXXXXXX');
</script>

And at the top of the body:

<noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-XXXXXX"
 height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>

On GTM i have a Data Layer variable set up as userId (Data Layer version2) and in the tag configuration (fields to set) I have Field Name userId and value userId.

Over on analytics I have set up a UserId view and a Custom Dimension Name of userId (scope is User, Index is 1).

Am I missing something??

thanks.

The code / setup I used above does work for showing userId within a userID view on analytics - as Ms.Easy said, you have to wait 24hrs for it to update.

This might not work as you have declared dataLayer.push method above the GTM container.
You can only declare dataLayer=method above the GTM container.
To send the user Id to GA, Use the below Code:

<script>
 dataLayer = [ 'userId': <%= currentUser.number %> ];
</script>
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i)w[l]=w[l])(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXXXXXX');
</script>

And at the top of the body:

<noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-XXXXXX"
 height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>

Now set up the dataLayer variable and tag in GTM to capture the value and send to GA.

Hope this helps!
