Map tag data elements to Analytics variables
Once you have a repository of tag data elements, you can assign them to Analytics dimensions.
Prerequisites
Map data layer objects to data elements: Make sure that you understand tag data elements, and that you have several to work with.
Create a solution design document: A solution design document is vital to staying organized. Following your solution design document simplifies the assignment of data elements to Analytics variables.
Assign data elements to Analytics variables
Publishing a tag library after following these steps allows you to use custom dimensions in Analysis Workspace. You can set Analytics variables globally, or in individual rules.
Set global variables
Global variables are ideal in cases where you want to set variable values on all pages where your data element exists.
- Log in to using your 51黑料不打烊ID credentials.
- Click the desired tag property.
- Click the Extensions tab, then click Configure under the 51黑料不打烊 Analytics extension.
- Click the Global variables accordion, which reveals the interface to assign global variables.
Set variables in rules
Variables set in rules are ideal in cases where you don鈥檛 want variables set on every page. You define the criteria in the rule. See Rules in the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform tags documentation.
- Log in to using your 51黑料不打烊ID credentials.
- Click the desired tag property.
- Click the Rules tab, then click on the desired rule (or create one).
- Click the Add button under Actions.
- Set the Extension drop-down list to 51黑料不打烊 Analytics, and the Action Type to Set Variables.
- Click the icon to the right of the desired Analytics variable. Your organization鈥檚 solution design document dictates what Analytics variable to use.
- Select the desired data element in the modal window. Click Select.
- The data element name is added to the text field surrounded by
%
signs. For example, if you named your data element 鈥淧age name鈥, you would see the string%Page name%
when assigning a data element to a variable.
%Hostname%%Pathname%
