Organizations with a contract for Adobe Analytics Standard, Premium, and Ultimate have access to Activity Map.

Every few seconds, Activity Map scans the web page, looking for changes to the page. ActivityMap finds new content on the page without needing a new page load, but this new content is always attributed to the first pageName found when the page loaded.

• Activity Map checks to see if the visibility of links that it knows about has changed. If a change in visibility is found, then the Links On Page table’s Present column for that link updates with Displayed or Hidden.

• When user interaction creates new content, any new elements that are found by AppMeasurement to be a link will be added to the Links On Page table. Activity Map sends a new data request that includes these new links. The new links should appear in the Links On Page table when the data request is handled by the UI.

No, Adobe does not track links that were viewed.

Activity Map supports the latest version of most modern browsers.

Activity Map does not send server calls by itself. Instead, Activity Map context data variables are included with Analytics page view calls on the subsequent page.

Some ranked links, such as submenu links, are hidden from the page. As a consequence, their corresponding link overlays are not shown. Rank is computed for all links on the page, including hidden links.

• In Gradient and Bubble mode: Rank is determined by the metric column. For links with same metric value, the rank is further based on link ID alphabetical order.
• In Gainer & Loser mode: Rank is primarily determined by the % Gain column. For links with the same gain, the rank is further based on the link ID alphabetical order.

By default, Activity Map uses the report suite that is associated with the first tag that is sent by the page. You can select a different tagged report suite through the Activity Map Settings > Others tab.

Activity map scans for the presence of Adobe Analytics for up to 20 seconds after a page complete event.

Activity Map checks every 2 seconds to see if it has found changes in the state of the web page such as:

• HTML content that has become visible
• HTML content that is hidden
• New HTML content that was injected

If content is hidden or shown, the application automatically changes the affected links state (and therefore overlays) from hidden to shown or from shown to hidden. If new content is injected, the application retrieves the associated links, pull analytics data for them, and adds overlays for these links.

All data shown is based on page views.

Yes. The Data columns that Activity Map uses are clickmaplink, clickmaplinkbyregion, clickmappage, and clickmapregion.

No, segments do not work in Live mode. The functionality is equivalent to that of real-time reporting in Reports & Analytics, which do not support segmentation.

Yes. However, due to virtual report suite limitations, Activity Map’s Live Mode is not compatible with virtual report suites.

You have three options:

• Delete the AppMeasurement_Module_ActivityMap function from the JS file

• Add custom code that rewrites the function above with an empty body, for example:

  function AppMeasurement_Module_ActivityMap() {}
  

• Configure AppMeasurement by setting s.trackClickMap and s.trackInlineStats to false
