Hi all,I was pondering if it was overkill to do the following and wanted
to hear thoughts from the community on it.If I set a data element that
is specific to a visitor like a visitor ID or functional role that I
always want to follow that visitor I have set in adobe launch the store
duration to visitor but in adobe analytics I also have the evar for it
to never expire. I did this setup to ensure that the visitor always has
those visitor specific values attached to them. Is this overkill? I
assu...
I was just curious if anyone else assigns evars for pageName, domain and
other props and on a hit expiration versus visit expiration? and does
anyone not even use an evar for props? I know its based on the
requirement however, I am trying to put together a list of best practice
evars and props you always want to make sure to create regardless of
requirements.
I had a question on custom links:I created an event based rule that
tracks clicks on certain AEM components we set on the page.When I look
at reporting I can use the dimensions I pass in the s.tl() call and use
the custom event called component clicks and I can also use visits,
unique visitors and people metric. However I cannot use pageviews on an
s.tl() call.There is a requirement to show how many pageviews to
component clicks (views per click custom metric) happened on a given
page. How can I...

anyone successfully implement and use the new Google gtag code in Adobe
Launch. we keep getting errors as a result of there code when we test in
dev. I thought I would ask here before contacting Google directly to see
if there was a remedy.Errors:Uncaught TypeError: dataLayer.push is not a
function[Core] Script error. - : 0Uncaught TypeError: a.slice is not a
functionWe also tried using the new gtag extension someone built but get
the same errors. One of the issues is probably because we have an...
Hi All,I added the new DemandBase Extension that recently became
available in the Adobe Launch catalog. Per the instructions, you have to
send an s.t() pageview beacon to set variables after the demandbase API
finishes however I already send a s.t() beacon for my global page load
variables. This causes 2 page load server calls to trigger and the evar
assigned to demandabase gets triggered on both beacons. How do I
suppress the global beacon not to fire my demandbase variable or how do
I suppress...
Does URL get captured as an Out Of The Box dimension when I populate the
URL field in DTM Global Variables? If yes, do you know what the OOTB
dimension name is as I can't find anything.Also, I was reading this page
stumbled upon and realized I could use the OOTB server dimension for my
current "domain" dimension I created: server . However, Does the OOTB
dimensions work as an evar, prop or both? What are the downsides versus
using custom evars / prop dimensions?thanks in advance,Scott
I was able to use the "discovery data layer" extension and create a rule
that delayed the global variables from firing for 1000 ms and it worked
perfectly and collected all the data from the child object however, i
want to make sure there is not a better way to do this.
I need to load content in a specific order where timing is super
important. what is the best way to accomplish this in launch. In DTM, I
could use sequential HTML but I don't see that option in launch for a
third party tag.I tried creating a rule and use "then" but when I check
console.logs it doesn't fire in that orderI need to make sure I fire in
order:pardot cookie tracker scriptthen fire src script that gets written
in with document.write and appends to our dataLayer object as a
childthen co...
Hi All,Having some difficulties figuring out how to create regex that
adjusts to the number of groups.I can have any number of parts ranging
from 1 to
4strings:events:company-conferences/company-user-conference/2018events:company-conferences/company-user-conferenceevents:company-conferencesI
tried this regex however it only returns the correct values if it has 4
capture groups, no more no less.
^([^\:]*)\:([^\:]*)\/([^\:]*)\/([^\:]*)I tried the below regex however
it does the same^(.+)\:(.+)\/(....
I just wanted to get clarification that the instructions and what I did
are correct for the hitGovernor plug in. Instructions say to add the
part (in bold) to the appMeasurement code. I assume I can copy / paste
the whole function in the top of the appmeasurement library however as I
read into it more it seems that you take the part I highlighted in
yellow and add it to an existing s.registerPostTrackCallback function
which I found but it had and a. instead?
another question.Do I also keep the tracking server fields in the
experience cloud ID service tool blank as well? I assume the tracking
servers I created in the adobe analytics tool will be used and pertain
to ID service as well?
ok, I figured it out. I leave the fields blank in the general tab and
specify using the below code for each secured and unsecured tracking
server wiithin my if statement.
s.trackingServer="tag.somethinghere.com";
s.trackingServerSecure="securedtag.somethinghere.com";works perfect.
Hi all,I have one web property that has 3 domains. Each domain has there
own first party cookie tracking server (secured and unsecured). I assume
I can write an if statement in the custom code area of the adobe
analytics tool so that the tracking server will change based on the
domain. Does that mean I should leave the tracking server fields under
general tab blank? Also, is there another maybe easier way, to get the
same result?
Hi All,In our AEM 6.4 we have multiple Adobe DTM Cloud configurations
for each of our global distributors that ties to a specific web
property. Can I achieve multiple cloud configurations with Adobe Launch,
I can't seem to find where i would add more cloud configurations.Any
help would be appreciated.Thank you,Scott Tavares
HI All,So in adobe analytics, is there a way to easily capture the bot
dimension that is provided in the bot report so that it can use it in
workspace as an evar or prop?thank you,Scott
Hi All,I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. I went
into my Environments and they are all set on async and when I go to turn
off async and save it I go back into the specific environment and its
turned on again. Is this a glitch or should I not worry about it.Also,
what are all the pros and cons of using async?Pros:non-blockingfaster
performanceCons:Adobe Target; experience personalizationDon't use page

Hi All, I'm Scott and I've been working specifically in digital
analytics since 2010 using Google Analytics and Webtrends. I'm currently
the web analyst for a software company called Esri. We implemented Adobe
Analytics last year and since then have also implemented AEM 6.2 and
Adobe Social. We are continuing to add more Adobe Marketing Cloud
products through 2018 with Adobe Audience then Adobe Target. I look
forward to learning from the community and how to leverage all the
products together in...
Hi All,I was looking around the web and noticed that a site was using
adobe analytics and they had a prop that gave you some very good visit
information. This would be return frequency but the out-of-the-box
return frequency does not show "first visit".Would someone help lead me
in the right direction as to how I would implement thisthanks in
advancethen it will change:and so one..is it using this plugin?
Hey, that's exactly the answer I was looking for. I guess it's the
little things that you look at when deciding which way to go.So when
using a built-in data element then you accept the way the data formatted
else use a JavaScript object to modify the value if needed in order to
have clean data in your reports.thanks again for all your help.
So just wondering if there is any difference at all regarding the 2
different methods below for capturing domain. Actually 3, I could use
custom javaScript. Just wondering if there would be cost/benefit factors
that I should be aware of when strategizing on the different methods to
do the same thing.Use JavaScript Object:Use the built-in data element:
thank you for the information on how to check and confirm that the
implementation is working. So, it looks like the pageType:"errorPage" is
working correctly however, pageName is also getting set. Question, I was
looking in the global variables section in DTM because I was going to
add an exclusion to remove pageName from any pages that had "Page not
found" in the document.title however, the global variables settings do
not have conditions. Is there another way to remove pageName from the
pages ...
Hi All,I setup a data element that captures the "page not found" string
from the title for our 404 page since it's the only indicator that the
page is a 404 other than the image.data element:var pageNotFound =
document.title;return pageNotFoundPage load rule:I then applied this to
a page load rule (see below)then added: s.pageType="errorPage" to the
custom page code sectionQuestion: is this a correct implementation in
order for it to populate the page not found report or am i missing a
step for ...
I was doing some spring cleaning in Adobe Analytics and noticed that we
have a lot of dimensions that we are not using or have not used in a
long time and also some seem to be redundant. I would like to remove
some from the dimension list but wanted to get the opinion of the
community before doing so. Do I really need both the evar and prop for
site section 2, 3, and 4? I thought eVars can do the same thing as props
except pathing but then when I use workspace most of the time I noticed
that I c...
