Hi Susan,

I have discovered this issue, today, as well. It appears that the usage
event listener, that writes data to GA isn't adding in any information of
the hit hierarchy. i.e. This bitstream has this owning item, this owning
collection, and these owning communities. So, when it comes time for
reporting, the data doesn't have the connection. I've heard that Robin has
overnight processing of the data to assist with reporting.

I was looking at this code since then, and was trying to think of how best
to store this data in Google Analytics.
My first thought is to add new "Custom Dimensions" to Google analytics, and
then write owningItem:123, owning:Coll:345, owningComm: ... There can be
multiple owning communities, so, store the communityID, store an array of
id's, separate with commas. Or add many custom dimensions owningComm1,
owningComm2, owningComm3, ...

Another thought I had would be to overwrite the Document Path =
/comm:123/comm:234/comm:345/coll:221/item:456/bundle:ORIGINAL/bitstream:789

Then a report could pull out results where the document path either started
a certain way, or contained a certain substring. I like the document path
route because it doesn't involve creating custom variables  "Custom
Dimensions", that you would have to make each user of this feature also use.

I just created a JIRA ticket about this:
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2899
