Sometimes you may want to tell Analytics to report alternative tracking names.

For example to define stages of a goals, but where the URL may not change - e.g. submitting an eForm

The value for the URL that will be tracked can be set either by supplying a Template Variable name - this can then be entered on any page via the Manager

Alternatively the name of a placeholder can be supplied, which can be set by other plugins or snippets. A placeholder value will override a template value.
