Launch - Analytics Extension - How to select the correct report suite.

I am new to Analytics and Launch and I am having some troubles finding the information I need, this is likely the first of several questions.

I have two dev website ... devsite1:3000 and devsite2:3001.  I have two report suites: devsuite1 and devsuite2.  The Analytics Extension allows you to select more than one suite for an environment, in this case I selected both devsuite1 and devsuite2 for my development environment.   I would expect that traffic from devsite1 would be funneled to devsuit1 and devsite2 would go to devsuite2 but from what I can tell that is not the case.  So my question is, how do I get each site to send the data to the correct report suite?

I have watched the tutorial videos, I have watched several pluralsight videos, I have attempted to search both the help docs and forums and I can not find this information anywhere even though it seems it would be a common task.  Does anyone have the answer?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi Jeff,

    You can select a data element in place of hardcoding it AA Extension. Here is what you need to do.

    • Create a new data element for dev report suite.
    • Data Element settings
      • Name - dev_reportSuiteID
      • Extension - core
      • Data Element Type - Custom Code
      • Store Duration - None
      • Leave everything else as is.
    • Open Editor : code should be following -

    var environment = _satellite.buildInfo.environment;
    var domain = window.location.hostname;
    if ((environment  == "development" || environment == "staging") && host == "devsite1"){
    return = "devsuite1"
    } else if ((environment  == "development" || environment == "staging") && host == "devsite2"){
    return = "devsuite2"
    }  else (
    return = "devsuite" // catch all report suite
    )

    • Go to AA extension > configure > report suite > Development report suite > click on DB icon > select your data element i.e. dev_reportSuiteID

    Note: However best practice is to send all dev site data in single dev report suite and create virtual report suite to see data from different dev domain.

    Thanks,
