Hard coded server call structure - Adobe Analytics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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...

Re: Using s and scode plugins with Adobe Analytics under DTM - Dynamic Tag Management

You can place plugins specific to the s object (such as s.p_fo()) inside the Analytics Tool>Customize Page Editor. You can then assign them to an prop or evar within the same place. If you are also setting any of these prop/evars within the UI Settings, you can select which option should take precedence with the radio buttons next to "Execute" within that section.

Re: Why are my click events not being tracked correctly? - Dynamic Tag Management

Another common reason I run into all the time is the link is set to trigger other javascript, which may cut off the DTM code. There are a couple of ways around that, but involve custom code. When I run into the case where other javascript is stopping the DTM Event code from running, I normally see the events Condition statement running (and passing) but then the other javascript interferes before the Analytics/Custom Code section of the rule can run. An easy way to see if this is what's happenin...

Re: DTM With more than 75 eVar - Dynamic Tag Management

Also important to know if you are using s_code (JavaScript H.*) or appMeasurement. If you are using s_code or appMeasurement 1.3 or less, then you will need to pass the new eVars above 75 as a Context Variable, then use a Processing Rule to populate the eVar itself. Fortunately passing Events101+ works the same as always.

Re: Why is AppMeasurement library not loading/loading multiple times? - Dynamic Tag Management

Another common issue I've seen where AppMeasurement library loads multiple times on a page is the presence of iFrames, where the iFrame contains another separate page. The page within that iFrame has appMeasurement and/or DTM loading also, so you end up with two instances on the same overall page.

DTM Page Tags with Angular.js framework - Dynamic Tag Management

We have an internal site we are tracking, which is a single page which uses Angular.js framework to change views and content. I've set up some code within Angular to fire the s.t() call every time a "page" displays. The s.t() call works as expected for each 'page' rendered by the Angular code. What I'm running into though is on the initial load of the URL, we are getting two s.t() calls: 1 - A 'generic' call which has no pageName specific data, since that is set within the Angular display code. ...

Re: DTM: How do I populate a tag with a simple js alert test? - Dynamic Tag Management

Using console.log() for testing can be a more efficient method, since you don't have to worry about any the code being interrupted while the browser waits on the alert popup.
