Analytics report for downloads from dynamic link

Hi All,

 

We are trying to get the report for file downloads which are part of a dynamic link. It's like http://WWW.mycompany.com/home/category.do?data=<context_data> and context_data keeps on changing for every session of the user. We did enable the downlods tracking and link tracking but these are not getting captured in either of the filedownloads or tracked links in analytics report. Any idea how to get the these captured when the file is delivered as part of the dynamic link?

 

Thanks,

Sayabanna

Hi,

 

Sorry for leaving it open.

We did change the url links structuring by making them static which resolved the issue and we were able to track them. The suggestions were really helpful in trying to get the dynamic links captured.

 

 

Thanks,

Could you share a few examples of the context_data?

Hi Andrey,

 

The Href link has inner text as well. ex :<a href="/folder1/folder2/action.do?data=xt7%2BHJ43BN4dnFie0fyiOarDVkAeJl8V7kWDD3P0ILE3yTdUF9Mb8bKrf9sZkMGoISW0tm1r3rcb03StdlhMTMdpLJttIl9oWzCjUzDVTvUXWD0U%2BzVSnzt5JoT0IwShjR6gi92KPlVC8Rps6WQjDA%3D%3D">link Name</a>

These kind of links are there in a list. I tried to get the innerText(%this.@text%) and assign it to one of the eVar using the onClick event and trigger on a particulra page.

The report is not showing the link name captured when custom report is viewed for the eVar used to capture the value. It just shows "unspecified" in the report.

even tried the custom code in set variables but it's not picking the link name.
