Time Difference between two events in CJA

Hi,

I would like to determine the duration between a user viewing the product section and subsequently clicking on the product card, assuming that both the product section viewed event and the product card click event are being captured. The objective is to calculate the time difference between these two events. Could someone kindly advise on how this can be accomplished within CJA?

Hi @rajalakshmimathiazhagan ,

since it's two different events you are talking about, I don't think you can do this with a derived field.
This sounds more like a tag management task to start a timer when the product section is viewed and stop the timer and send the difference together with the product card click event.

This approach works for Adobe Analytics but not for CJA. Thanks for pitching in though!
