Product Grid Limits

[techi21106159]

Hi All,

I need to track a product grid CTR in an ecommerce site and I'll use s.products and merchandising evars to specify the coordinates on the grid as follows:

event 1 for impressions and 4 for clicks.

"s.events=""event1"";
s.products="";ProdID1;;;;evar55=Row1-Slot1,
   ;ProdID2;;;;evar55=Row1-Slot2,
   ;ProdID3;;;;evar55=Row1-Slot3,
   ;ProdID4;;;;evar55=Row2-Slot1,
   ;ProdID5;;;;evar55=Row2-Slot2,
   ;ProdID6;;;;evar55=Row2-Slot3,etc...”;;ProdID41;;;;evar55=Row3-Slot3,"

Subsequent clicks:

s.events=”event4”;s.products=”;ProdID1;;;;evar55=Row1-Slot1”;

Is there a limit on the number of coordinates that I can create? Also, the default product grid shows 16 products, and has a call to action to load 16 additional products. Should I create a big enough grid to account to all possible products? should any sort of pagination be useful?

Thanks!

The limit you're going to run into is image request characters on IE - anything beyond 2083 bytes will be truncated. The products variable itself is technically unlimited, although report suites with extremely long product strings tend to be more vulnerable to latency.
