Go back to the ThoughtMetric onboarding step that you were on and scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Done”. This will bring you to the final step where ThoughtMetric will check the installation of the tracking code to make sure it has been installed correctly. Once ThoughtMetric detects that the tracking code is correctly installed you have finished the setup and can proceed to the ThoughtMetric dashboard. Note: for ThoughtMetric to detect that the system is working it listens for data coming for your website. So to speed up detection you can go to your website and refresh the page a few times to send data our way.
