@harikrishnadevanabowina I have one query related to SDR. Please help me with your inputs.

Question: How can an SDR be used to effectively guide the design and implementation of a data layer in websites, ensuring that only relevant data is sent and What are best practices for SDR Management in a Dynamic Environment (Sites with frequent change request) ?

[harikrishnadevanabowina]

Hi @Bhuwan_B Good question.

The Solution Design Reference (SDR) serves as a foundational document for analytics on digital properties. It outlines business requirements and data collection design, ensuring accuracy and alignment.

Web Analytics Audits and SDR

Regular web analytics audits, facilitated by the SDR, are crucial for maintaining data integrity. The SDR provides visibility into implementation details and helps identify missing properties.

Dynamic Environments and SDR

In dynamic environments with frequent changes, while variables may remain relatively stable, website components often evolve. The SDR, in conjunction with the analytics workspace, provides a clear mapping of components to tracked variables.

Effective SDR Practices

Creating an effective SDR involves using clear and recognizable naming conventions for properties. This enhances understanding and facilitates data analysis.

Please let me know if any queries.

Hi @harikrishnadevanabowina 

I have one question: We have product detail pages with react components fetching content from client calls, few of the Adobe Analytics datalayer attributes are populated with the response from react component client calls. We are facing an issue with DOM ready/page load calls where certain data is not available by the time launch rules execute. How can we handle this scenario?

Launch script is include within <head> section of the page.

[harikrishnadevanabowina]

Hi @srikanthpogula good to see you here. 

This is quite a common issue when dealing with React components. Here are different strategies you could consider:

1. Async Data Loading and Conditional Rendering:

• Delay Launch Rules: If you can control the launch rules' execution, delay them until all necessary data is loaded. This can be done using JavaScript or Adobe Analytics' own mechanisms.
• Conditional Rendering: Use conditional rendering in your React components to ensure that data is displayed only when it's available. This prevents rendering incomplete or incorrect information.

2. Adobe Analytics' Data Layer API:

• Push Data Manually: Use Adobe Analytics' Data Layer API to manually push data into the data layer when it becomes available. This allows you to control the timing of data availability and ensure that launch rules have access to the data when they execute.
• Data Layer Events: Trigger custom data layer events when data is loaded. Launch rules can then be configured to listen for these events and take appropriate actions.

3. Optimization and Performance:

• Minimize Client Calls: Optimize your React components to minimize the number of client calls and reduce the time it takes to load data. This helps in reducing the number of calls and also optimized data tracking
• Prioritize Data Loading: Ensure that critical data is loaded first to improve the overall user experience.

Also consider EDDL for 

• Centralized Data Management: EDDL provides a centralized location to store and manage data that needs to be tracked in Adobe Analytics. This ensures consistency and reduces the likelihood of errors.
• Asynchronous Data Updates: EDDL allows for asynchronous updates, meaning data can be pushed to the data layer at any time, even after the page has loaded. This can be particularly useful when dealing with dynamic content or asynchronous data fetching.

Please let me know if any further queries, happy to help.
