Differentiate links that reference the same Link ID and region

You can differentiate links by customizing the link ID using the s_objectID variable, by customizing the region, and by customizing the AppMeasurement ActivityMap module file .

As an example, let’s say you have multiple “Buy” links that are identified by Activity Map under the same Link ID and Region:

How can you customize your web page and tagging to differentiate the values of these links? You have three options: You can customize the Link ID, or customize the region, or customize the AppMeasurement ActivityMap Module file.

Customize the Link ID Using s_objectID

By creating a unique object ID, s_objectID, for a link or link location on a page, you can either improve Activity Map tracking or use Activity Map to report on a link type or location, rather than the link URL. Click here for more information on the s_objectID variable.

Customize the Region

You can customize the region by ensuring that each “Buy” link has its own Region defined. To do so, add an "id" parameter to one of the parents of each “Buy” anchor tag.

Customize the AppMeasurement ActivityMap Module file

Here are a couple of examples of generic link/region functions you could include (in modified form) in your AppMeasurement.js file.

s.ActivityMap.link = function(ele, linkName) {
  if (linkName) {
    return linkName;
  }
  if (ele) {
    if (ele.tagName == 'A' && ele.href) {
      return ele.href;
    }
  }
}

The linkName is passed during calls to s.tl().

s.ActivityMap.region = function(ele) {
  var className,
  classNames = {
    'header': 1,
    'navbar': 1,
    'left-content': 1,
    'main-content': 1,
    'footer': 1,
  }; 
  while ((ele && (ele = ele.parentNode))) {
    if ((className=ele.className) && classNames[className]) {
      return className;
    }
  }
  return "BODY";
}
