Acitivity map data using Web SDK

[RaulFo]

Hi,

I'd like to have the Activity Map functionality enabled in the Web SDK implementation the same way I had it in AppMeasurement. This is having the click information on the subsequent page load when possible. 

In May this year, when I started the migration I found this piece of information on this official documentation page: 

Now, I can see the following updates related the Web SDK implementation on the same page:

Has this new release that was mentioned solved the issue of sending additional server calls? If so, what are the steps to implement the Activity Map functionality? Do I need to enable new dimensions on the AEP schema?

I couldn't find much information about it, hope you can help me.

Thanks.

Hi @RaulFo ,

the new release enables persisting the activity map data until the next page view happens

Note: This will only work if you choose the standard page view Web SDK event name; plus, this will only capture the last click. Adobe will check if this can persist multiple clicks as well, but right now, it only applies to a single click.

Hope that helps

Hi @bjoern__koth,

I appreciate the information you provided.

I have updated the AEP Web SDK extension to the last version and followed the configuration steps that you indicated. Then, I have sent the change to development to check in a preproduction environment how the dimensions are populated.

I couldn't manage to see on the edge server calls the previous click information. Is there any way I can see this information as I do in the AppMeasurement implementation? Am I missing any step concerning AEP schema or Adobe Analytics processing rules?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hi @RaulFo 

when you filter your network requests for /ee you will the AEP calls.

in the payload, you should see a data section with the activity map data (ideally).

you could maybe add a screenshot?

Hi @RaulFo 

there are a couple of parallel ActivityMap threads at this point. I suggest you have a look at this one

where I added a setup that is working for me (step by step)

Hi @bjoern__koth ,

In my previous version of the extension I had the "On before link click send callback" option activated to not automatically collect navigational links. I upgraded the extension and selected the "event grouping using session storage" option for internal link clicks without removing the previous custom code feature. 

I have removed the mentioned custom code and now I can see the edge network call being sent with the activity map variables and the dimensions being populated in Analytics.

Thanks for sharing the above thread.
