PDF file tracking in AppMeasurement

Hi gokula​,

You can use configuration variables like s.trackDownloadLinks and s.linkDownloadFileTypes and that will allow automatic tracking of download links with the extension specified above (in s.linkDownloadFileTypes).

Alternatively, you can have manual tracking through a piece of code using s.tl() function, something like onclick="s.tl(this, "d", myLink)"

Thank you for quick response ishans9314858​

For manual tracking, do I need to use any external plugin ? Somewhere I read about downloadLinkHandler plugin but I am not able to get in documentation.

If I used configuration variables described above where I can able to see the data report?

If you can provide any example that helps really.

No plug-in is required for manual tracking. You can just implement it using the JS code and s.tl() function.

Hello ishans9314858​

I can see the pdf tracking count but another thing I noticed in analytics report which add some query string at the end of the link showing multiple records.  For reference attaching below screenshot. If you see below after .pdf extension few parameters getting added.

So just wanted to know how the query string added here in report ?

Do I need to set s.linkLeaveQueryString  here ? Default value is False but still I am able to see OR any other configuration var

Thanks

Dear Gokula,

Weird. If you didn't set s.linkLeaveQueryString to 'true' it should not capture the query string parameters, however can you set the parameter to 'false' and see the result?

Sounds illogical, but testing can give some sort of understanding rather than assuming.

Thank You!

It also could be a custom variable - if it's a prop or eVar, you'll want to strip the query string yourself.

Were you able to get everything figured out?
