Implementing Activity Map through Websdk

[bindukumari90]

Hi Team,

I am implementing activity map through websdk, I have followed the steps given in below document, but unable to see the data under web interaction.

Is there any additional settings, which I am missing?

Hi @bindukumari90 

By Enabling click data collection in web SDK extension will trigger a separate link click call every time you on any element on the page along with exit and download links.

There is no additional steps required for this process however make sure you are not changing "on before link click event send callback code" in the code editor which is available after checking the "enable data collection".

Although it depends on your case but I would not recommend tracking all the clicks on the page(some of it might be meaningless for your business) to prevent this use this code in the "on before link click event send callback" code editor

if (content.xdm.web.webInteraction.type === "other") {
  return false;
}

you can refer to this blog to better optimize your click implementation and some more best practices by @Andrew_Wathen_

hi there.  i have a few questions about the websdk configuration and activity map, somewhat related to this topic

on a website i'm working on, i noticed that when I click on a link that i want to track using the 'automatic data collection' feature, i'm getting 2 network calls.  one with the xdm object that I configured using the 'callback custom code' block for click tracking and one that includes 'activity map' context data (data._adobe.analytics.contextData').  any reason why my 'activity map' information isn't being merged with my default click tracking network call?

and two, more importantly -- when I use the 'return false' option as described in this post, i do see that my default click tracking network call is suppressed.  BUT i still have an activity map network call firing; again, even through I aborted the default click tracking network call.  

the two scenarios might be related, but I thought I'd see if you had any ideas on how I can both merge these two network calls and how I can make sure the activity map network call also gets suppressed when we need it too.

Thanks
