Acitivity map data using Web SDK

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 

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

https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-platform/event-grouping-link-tracking-session-storage-still-sending/td-p/704614

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.
