Data Layer Management Using the ContextHub Tool

[scottt6073095]

Hi All,

I was reading over the documentation on the ContextHub Tool and it seems like it would be a great tool for use as a generic data layer but had some questions that wasn't in the documentation.

Questions:

1. The data element monitor polls for the values. Will page load time be affected?
2. Is anyone using ContextHub Tool for Data Layer and have you seen any issues?

Thank you,

Scott

Dy default stores are loaded async, so load time of the page is not affected.

Context hub is meant for managing the data stores for personalization. However it could be used as a data layer.

As feike_visser​ mentioned, its loaded async so it should be fine.

Regarding the issue, it depends on what type and how much of data are we trying to load in this layer !

I was reading the below page and it seemed like you can just replace your existing data layer with the contextHub tool and utilize the polling function to always listen for changes. Seemed like a cool advanced version of a data layer.
