Documentation for implementation of Data Collection and Analytics

Right now we have a manual Analytics implementation and really want to update to using Data Collection.  Outside of a couple of videos, I'm having a devil of a time finding documentation to implement Data Collection for the first time and then add Analytics.  Would anyone know where this documentation is?

 

We aren't interested in Web SDK at all at this time.  I realize Adobe is really trying to push everyone towards it, but we aren't ready for that.

    Hi @aablank1 ,

     

    You can refer:

    General Adobe Analytics Implementation Guide

    Link:
    🔗 Adobe Analytics Implementation Guide (Experience League)

    Includes:

    • Implementation planning
    • Tracking strategy
    • Variables (eVars, props, events)
    • Report Suite setup
    • Debugging and validation

    Step-by-Step Documentation to Use Data Collection Tags + Adobe Analytics (Legacy)

    Start Here: Launch Implementation for Adobe Analytics

    Link:
    🔗 Launch Implementation Guide (Adobe Analytics Extension)

    This walks you through:

    • Creating a Data Collection Tag property (formerly Launch)
    • Installing the Adobe Analytics extension (uses AppMeasurement under the hood)
    • Setting up report suite ID, tracking server, etc.
    • Creating rules for page views and events
    • Publishing changes

    Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (Alloy.js)

    Link:
    🔗 Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK

    Includes:

    • New-generation data collection for web (replaces AppMeasurement)
    • Configuring edge data collection
    • Sending XDM-compliant data
    • Identity and consent management

    I hope this information help you.

      Thanks so much for the links.

       

      However the Launch Implementation Guide link is broken.  Would you happen to have an updated version?

          I also found Fred's blog really useful in getting the most out of Launch, here is an example: https://www.fullstackanalyst.io/blog/tag-management/using-adobe-launch-for-configuration-management/
