In Page view call need to add additional events (page load time, time spent on previous page) from data-layer

[Parth_Gupta]

Hi,

I am new with the web-sdk implementation, need help with one specific scenario.

In page view call i want to append additional events like page-load time, time-spent on previous page (developer have passed the values in datalayer). Like this - web.webPageDetails.pageLoadTime and web.webPageDetails.timeSpentOnPreviousPage.

Created the corresponding data elements and using those data-elements in XDM object. By assigning in _experience.analytics.events1to100.event31.value to corresponding data-element. Is that approach right ? Because i am not seeing any data getting populated into reports.

While i can see data flowing in interact call.

Hi @Parth_Gupta 

your approach should be correct. Can you shed a little light on when and where you set custom events? I.e., through custom code or mapping directly in the WebSDK actions?

Have you tried setting a dummy event to value 1 where you set the page relevant data in the XDM? Does that show?

cheers

Hi Bjorn,

Yes i tried sending dummy values as well - like random numbers. That data is coming up in the reports.

Page Load time data element -

XDM is set up like this -

My Rule is like this -

Thanks,

Hey @Parth_Gupta 

Are the events enabled in the reporting suite to collect data ?

Hi Abhinav,

That is the first step that i always do. It is enabled.

That's good then @Parth_Gupta 

At times, these small things cause issues.

Can you also look at the type of event. Is it counter or numeric ?

Cheers,

Agree with @abhinavbalooni ,

all is typed, so if your data element returns a "1" instead of a 1, this will cause issues. Even though I am not sure whether WebSDK does some preprocessing and dumps those values since to my understanding the call would rather not be processed yet still go out.

Hi @Parth_Gupta 

in your data element, you are trying to assign an object to the actual value of the event.

looking at your data layer screenshot, you are also having a value property in there. 

try this instead 

web.webPageDetails.pageLoadTime.value

 

 

 

you should be able to verify this by executing this in your console 

adobeDataLayer.getState("web.webPageDetails.pageLoadTime")

respectively

adobeDataLayer.getState("web.webPageDetails.pageLoadTime.value")

hope that helps.

Ahh such a small mistake. Thanks Bjoern. It worked
