In GA4 Reports > Engagement > Pages and screens, above the list of pages viewed, there is a dropdown with the following options:

  • Page title and screen class
  • Page path and screen class
  • Page title and screen name
  • Content group

The option that is missing (mentioned in various sources on the internet) is "Page path + querystring".

This is the same on several GA4 websites I manage (all upgraded from GA to GA4)

Any ideas on how to enable the missing option?

  • I do not think this is possible, because the page path + query is [not compatible](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11608978) . Certainly if you edit the report and add that metric and try to use that metric, you get a blank screen and the incompatible warning Editing the report is done by: 1. click the pencil icon in the top right 2. In the Customise report pane, click the Dimensions option. 3. The 4 available dimensions you describe are shown. 4. You can add the page path + query string dimension to this list and then it becomes available as an option. – Stuart Young Jan 13 '23 at 03:30

On left hand side, click "Explore" option. Then hit "Free form"

Now on left hand side you have dimensions and metric. For dimension you need to choose page path + querystring and click import on top right corner, and for metric "Views" under "Page/screen" Like so: enter image description here

Once that is done, you need to drag & drop or select that dimension under Rows, and under Values that metric. So for Rows select page path & query string, and for Values select Views. Like so: enter image description here

This is very similar to what google data studio offers, but it is embedded in GA4, and somehow works way faster, and have more options ex. pathing. Also took me a while to figure how to display such data.

    Well that is helpful yes, but it doesn't answer the question. The reports are better than the explorations in a number of ways so it would be good if this was in reports. I suggest that everyone uses the Send Feedback to Google option to ask for the page + query to be added. – Stuart Young Jan 13 '23 at 00:37
