Activity Map for non-links?

[#1]

Hello,

I have implemented activityMap link, region etc for links, Cta's etc. Ref doc: https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/analytics/analyze/activity-map/link-tracking/activitymap-link... 

The use case I am trying to work on is to get activityMap link, region for non-links, for example FAQ's which have expand and collapse option. I'd like to fire activityMap link, region on click of FAQ expand and collapse to better understand the user experience. 

Example: https://codyhouse.co/demo/faq-template/index.html

I tried to update html and also faq.click() by using s.tl() function, none of them worked. So, I am wondering if activityMap applies only for links? Has anyone encountered such a use case? How can I populate the FAQ clicks in Analytics? 

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

@aemstack you may wanna use s_object id in this case. https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/analytics/implementation/vars/page-vars/s-objectid.html

s_object id cannot be used because FAQ is not a link or it does not have <a> tag.

Thanks! I was able to achieve this using

1. https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/analytics/implementation/vars/page-vars/s-objectid.html and

This is something I've been working on as well.

So far what I've discovered that if the element is a "standard" clickable element (ie. link or a button) I have added code to make it work. If the developers do something silly like make a JS clickable span or div (which is just plain bad usability to start with) then it won't work.

In your case I can see that these are in fact a tags, so IF you were to add s.tl() click tracking to the anchors, it "should" work... but it might need a little tweaking?

I don't see any analytics on your template yet, so it might be hard to see what is happening, but I'd be happy to try and help you out.
