How to read Multiple product page tags in Adobe?

I have an evar configured on page load rule to capture where there are multiple product lines existing on web pages. I was wondering How to split this string in Adobe Analytics with classification rule builder? Or there is any other way out to read such comma-separated values in a meaningful manner in workspace?
 

 

Thanks.

Hello Vasu,

Yes! You need to either use Classification Rule Builder or a List Prop/Var to achieve your goal. 

Since you said that they were product lines, you should use List Prop/Var and not Classification.

To understand the difference between Classification and List Prop/Var, go through my blog which has examples.

Hi @jyotisharmav 


You can use classification method or you can use list variable also to see the clean data in the WorkSpace.

For Classification you can refer the below document:-

 https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/components/classifications/classifications-rulebuilder/classification-quickstart-rules.html?lang=en#how-rules-are-processed

 

For List Var:-

    Thanks, @uditgupta1

     

    List variables look more suitable for my use case where I have product tags. The documentation looks super helpful. But there is one question Is that "Max Values" exactly means a total of 250 characters of a string: "Microcontrollers,Timing" OR comma-separated 250 different values separately.

     

    Also, "Expire After" is a little tricky too. I have tried to implement the list variable like below but this is not showing me any results in the workspace.

      Hey @pratheeparunraj, Thank you for the response... 

      I wanted to confirm one thing regarding "Expiration". As I read from the documentation maximum 250 values can be stored at one time per visitor. But For example, if a user is visiting different web pages which have multiple product tags on them, then I want all those product tags to persist and float in the analytics workspace which he has encountered in his journey. Is this is possible by setting "Expiration" to "Never".

       

      And, I don't want the tags to appear in a single string in the workspace as per the below screenshot. They should appear as a separate value in each row.

      Thanks,

      Vasu

      @pratheeparunraj@uditgupta1I am not sure about the expire after and allocation. how they work? For now I set it to "Expire After: Never" and "Allocation: Full". And, this is showing nothing in custom conversion report for List variables to me. I want if a user has visited my site then I want to capture all the multiple product line tags which a user will encounter in his journey.

       

      How should I map my data element in launch to this list variable?
