Question: What does Override Domain name do? Answer: In Google Analytics, the domain in which the property is tied to is automatically detected, however when using multiple sub-domains this can become problematic and therefore Google offers the ability to set the explicit domain rather than using auto-detect for this. When this value is set, the following line is inserted into the GA script: _gaq.push(["_setDomainName","DomainName"]);
