GTM workflow · Inventory & Cleanup
Take over a GTM account with a clearer picture
Review tags, triggers and variables together, then turn an unfamiliar account into a manageable audit scope.
Start with the task in front of you
An inherited account can contain current tracking, old campaigns and items nobody recognises. Start with a readable inventory before deciding what should change.
An inventory table fills with rows across brands while count tiles rise for tags, triggers, variables and orphaned items.
Make the next decision clearer
See the selected scope
Review the returned containers and entity types so the audit covers the account you intended.
Find the relevant subset
Filter the inventory by name, type, status or container to investigate one useful question at a time.
Give the next owner context
Record known purposes, unresolved ownership and the items that need a dependency review.
A practical way to use it
Confirm the account
Select the authorised GTM account and check the containers represented in the result.
Extract and review
Inspect tags, triggers and variables, then narrow the result to a manageable task.
Choose a next action
Retain known items, assign investigation questions and prepare only justified changes.
Filter chips activate one after another and non-matching rows collapse out of the table.
What the result can tell you
An inventory describes configuration. It does not establish that every tag fires correctly on the live site.
Before you start
Can I start without making changes?
Yes. Extract and inspect the inventory as a read-only first pass. Leave proposed edits for a separate review.
What do I need to get started?
Use ODDVX for Windows with authorised access to the relevant account or test target. Start with a scope you understand. Free provides individual runs and on-screen findings; Premium adds supported batch and delivery options.
Start with one useful result
