# Configuration

Now that the basic onboarding is complete, let's review all fields in the form and how to use them. The Measurement ID and API Secret were already filled in during the basic onboarding so that we will skip those two.

### Debug Mode

Enable this option if you want to send test events to validate the connection.

To view the events in the Google Analytics dashboard. Please follow the steps below

1. Click on Admin (gear icon) in the bottom left
2. Select Debug View under the Data display section

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to disable debug view once you are fine with sending actual events.
{% endhint %}

### Skip Consent

Enabling Skip Consent ensures that we don't set the Google consent states on EdgeTag. It would be upon you to handle Google consent. This would be a helpful option if you are also managing Google integration in another place, so that both EdgeTag and other sources will not initialise and update Google consent states, which can result in incorrect consent data.
