The available dimensions and metrics that you can read and write using processing rules.
Custom values and context data
| Value | Read/write status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Custom value | Read only | Custom text or values typed directly in the action of a processing rule. |
| Concatenated value | Read only | Values that are created by combining two values. For example, channel and page name can be combined to create a subcategory. |
Hit attributes
| Attribute | Read/write status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Page URL | Read + write | The Page URL dimension. Link tracking hits strip this dimension before reaching processing rules. If you re-insert a page URL value using processing rules, the hit is considered a Page view instead of a Page event. Adobe recommends checking for a value in the page dimension before modifying it. |
| Page name | Read + write | The Page dimension. Link tracking hits strip this dimension before reaching processing rules. If you re-insert a page value using processing rules, the hit is considered a Page view instead of a Page event. Adobe recommends checking for a value in the page dimension before modifying it. |
| Report suite ID | Read only | The report suite that the processing rule is executed on. This report suite can be different than the report suite originally sent through AppMeasurement, such as when using VISTA rules. |
| AppMeasurement code version | Read only | The AppMeasurement library version used to generate the image request. |
| IP address | Read only | The IP address of the visitor. |
| User agent | Read only | The user agent of the visitor. |
| Referrer | Read only | The Referrer dimension. |
| Query string parameter | Read only | The value of a specified query string parameter in the current URL. |
| Referring query string parameter | Read only | The value of a specified query string parameter in the referring URL, or an empty string if none exists. |
| Referring domain | Read only | The page domain of the referring URL, including subdomains. |
| Referring root domain | Read only | The page domain of the referring URL, excluding subdomains. |
| Page query string | Read only | All query string parameters and their values in the current URL. |
| Referring query string | Read only | All query string parameters and their values in the referring URL. |
| Page path | Read only | The page path of the current URL. Page path does not include protocol, domain, or query string parameters. |

Description
Context variables
All Context data variables that this report suite has seen in the last 30 days. See Processing rules use cases for usage examples.
IMPORTANTIf processing rules do not map a given context data variable to another variable (such as a prop or eVar), the value in the context data variable is permanently lost.
Success events
Processing rules can set events but cannot read them as conditions. Set the rule action drop-down to Set event to see available metrics to increment.
