Storing data from a form

Hello,

How would I code a form field in order to pass data back into site catalyst. Would those be as Evars/sProps or is there a better way?

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

 

I would use a prop and enable pathing on it. That will allow you to know for example on which field the customer stops the most.

here is how I do form tracking most of the Time (checkout process):

When a specific step (form) loads I send the name of the form in the s.propN

Then for each form I send a custom link tracking call and the name of the field.

When you run the Path for this prop report you will be able to figure out at which field they stopped or if you run the prop report you can see at which step the customer stops the moss.

Best regards.

One note...I would only do a solution like this on a temporary basis since it will cost a lot in Adobe server calls.  I would suggest you use a tag management system to flip it on and off when you need to test the form...

I think the solution above is fine.  You basically want to pass the field name (with a form identifier if you want) to an sProp as visitors go from field to field and enable pathing...

Hey Alexis/Adam,

Could you elaborate further on how we would implement this tracking (in the s-code.js I presume). Are there any examples you could share? This help file was good but not enough to take back to our developers: http://microsite.omniture.com/t2/help/en_US/sc/implement/data_elements.html

Thanks!

Adam, what would you implement as best practice to track drop off from specific inputs of a form and in order to see data in a pathing report?

Thanks!
