Hard coded server call structure - Adobe Analytics 31-05-2017

For a particular server call we are manually constructing the image request string. Have a couple questions on the query parameters."t" - this is supposed to be a UNIX or ISO-8601 format timestamp. The calls I normally see have a format of "31/4/2017 7:34:30 3 240". Can I use a format of "2017-05-31T11:54:32.090Z" instead? That is the result when I use the toISOString() JavaScript function, which is nice and simple."g" - is this required? I haven't included it in my testing, and the data is show...

DTM Admin control for Custom Code option at the User/Group level - Dynamic Tag Management 23-02-2016

One of the biggest concerns IT departments have in regards to DTM is the option to include custom JavaScript. This is a very valid concern as one line of bad code could potentially break the entire page, or inadvertantly interfere with important functions. Right now anybody with User access can include custom code with any rule, and as soon as that rule is saved it immediately goes "live" on the staging site. To minimize this it would be great if only designated users had access to the Custom Co...

Re: How do I troubleshoot Data Elements? - Dynamic Tag Management 16-12-2015

You can also try the free DTM plugin developed by Adam Haining. It opens up a separate window with a full easy to read list of all of the rules, data elements, and _satellite.notify() comments. It gives you a complete list of all of the Properties Data Elements, the value for each if one is set, as well as its Type. Very handy tool! This plugin is MUCH easier to use and read than the Adobe DTM Switch plugin which utilizes the Console.Plugin How to PageTo use it create a browser shortcut and chan...

Re: 2 Images requests - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

DTM fires the s.t() call by default when you use the Analytics tool. So check to make sure you are not still firing the s.t() call separately within the page code. There are definitely use cases where you would suppress that default s.t() call within the Analytics Tool, such as for an Angular application; but for most cases it's easiest and best to rely on that call instead of a "hard coded" s.t() call.

Re: Page load tracking firing on any link click - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

The second server call you show looks to be a Download link, indicating Analytics thinks you are downloading a certain type of file. If this is the case, try going into the Analytics Tool>Link Tracking section and either un-checking "Track download links", or if you do have download links you want tracked then find which file extension is triggering the call and remove it from the list.

Re: Firing DTM rules based on datalayer values - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

I was guessing that your page may be using some form of Ajax to return the Search results, as that is fairly common. If so then you may be able to use $( document ).ajaxComplete(function(){}) to watch for that. I don't know if there is a specific code to watch for a datalayer value to change; as an alternative you could put in some code using setInterval() to check that value every X seconds/milliseconds after the "search" button is clicked, and if it changes then fire the Direct Call rule and t...

Re: Firing DTM rules based on datalayer values - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

In some similar scenarios, which in our case used Ajax to make the search updates, I've used DTM to include some jQuery to watch for the Ajax Success/Complete event. When that happens and the correct criteria is met it fires a direct call rule. Ideally you would have the developers include that direct call in the regular search code, but as that is not always feasible this works as a viable alternative for me.

Re: Newly created Event based rules is working in production before approving/publishing - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Assuming the DTM reference in the section isn't pointing to the staging rules, if you have the DTM Switch plugin installed make sure it is not set to Staging. I frequently forget to turn that off after previous testing.

In the sequential HTML you can pull in the Data Element value by wrapping the name with %%. Example:

Re: Class not showing up in Event Based Rules - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Sometimes links activate so fast that the DTM rule never gets to finish, or other code firing on that link interferes with or cuts off the DTM code. One way I've used to identify that DTM is at least recognizing the click, but not being allowed to finish is to put a message in the Conditions section of the Rule. After all of the other conditons I'll add a custom code condition like the following:_satellite.notify("DTM Rule was triggered",1); return true;If you see that message in the Console you...
